Hibs re-established themselves well in the top flight, finishing in sixth place. The club also had a good Scottish Cup run, but were disappointingly beaten 2–1 by Aberdeen, who finished bottom of the SPL, in the semi-final at Hampden Park. The season was also memorable for Hibs fans due to a 3–0 win in the "Millennium derby" against Hearts. There was a landmark day towards the end of the season, as the last game on the Easter Road slope was played.A sorry farewell to the famous Easter Road slope April 30, 2000 Sunday Herald League season Results D 31 July 1999 SPL 2–2 Hibernian Lehmann 45 81 Motherwell Nevin 65 Nicholas 90 Easter Road, Edinburgh 13,058 Clark W 8 August 1999 SPL 3–4 Dundee Lovering 56 o.g.
