And there was plenty going on.<\/p>\n
For Murray, this was yet another monumental moment in her magnificent career with Hibs.<\/p>\n
The club’s record-appearance maker, who won two leagues, seven Scottish Cups and five League Cups during her illustrious 21-year playing career, added another winner’s medal as assistant to Scott in last season’s league win.<\/p>\n
So often seen as a pair, whether as captain and head coach – as they were during Scott’s first spell when they won three domestic cups – or assistant and boss, it was “weird” for both to look across the touchline and see each other.<\/p>\n
“We spoke just before kick-off and said how weird it was,” Murray explained after her “proud but disappointing” first game in charge.<\/p>\n
“But it’s probably one of those ones where it comes so quick, you want that because you’d always be looking for it if it wasn’t today.”<\/p>\n
“I’m a massive Joelle fan,” Scott added. “I think she’s got a brilliant future ahead.<\/p>\n
“I’ve said far too many nice things about her over the years, but we’ll still be pals after these games, because I have a lot of respect for Jo, she was a brilliant introduction to the coaching staff.<\/p>\n
“But aye, that’s the first one done, I’m delighted we’ve progressed and come through unscathed, so we’ll move on to the next one.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And there was plenty going on.
