Hibs wing-back Chris Cadden has revealed Ron Gordon went the extra mile behind the scenes to make sure both the players and their partners felt right at home.
The Leith side will pay tribute to their former owner in tonight’s visit of Rangers in what is their first home game since the American died last month. The match comes just 24 hours after Hibees staff and players attended an emotional memorial service alongside his family in Edinburgh.
In public, Hibs fans saw an enthusiastic and ambitious businessman but Cadden insists there was much more to Gordon. He said: “Ron just loved Hibs and wanted the boys to do well. At the player of the year do last year I was there with my partner Caitlin, he was there with his wife Kit and he must have had a million people to speak to. But he came over and sat with us and spoke to Caitlin for 20 minutes, asking what she did for a living and how she was enjoying Edinburgh.
