The team, popularly known as ''Turnbull's Tornadoes'', finished second in the league in 1974 and 1975 and won the [[Scottish League Cup|League Cup]] in 1972. The club also won the [[Drybrough Cup]] in 1972 and 1973,<ref name = "history"/> and recorded a 7β0 win over [[Edinburgh derby]] rivals Hearts at [[Tynecastle Park|Tynecastle]] on 1 January 1973. Performances went into decline after the mid-1970s, as Hibs were replaced by the [[New Firm (Scotland)|New Firm]] of [[Aberdeen F.C.|Aberdeen]] and [[Dundee United F.C.|Dundee United]] as the main challengers to the [[Old Firm]]. Turnbull resigned as manager and Hibs were [[promotion and relegation|relegated]], for the second time in their history, in 1980. They were immediately [[promotion and relegation|promoted]] back to the [[Scottish Premier Division]] in 1981, but the club struggled during the 1980s, failing to qualify for European competition until 1989.<ref name = "history"/>
