He could not achieve a title win with his team in these years. In 1969 he reached the final of the Scottish League Cup with Hibernian , but failed there clearly with 2: 6 at Celtic Glasgow .

Nottingham Forest (1970–1972)

In March 1970 he moved to English first division club Nottingham Forest in the Football League First Division 1969/70 for £ 80,000 . The team coached by Matt Gillies ended the season only in the bottom third of the table and also lost important players with Henry Newton , Bob McKinlay and Terry Hennessey . After 16th place in the 1970/71 season , Forest rose after 15 years of first class as the table penultimate from the First Division 1971/72 .

Liverpool FC (1972–1976)

Cormack did not join the Second Division, but moved to Liverpool FC for £ 110,000 . In its first season in Liverpool, the team coached by Bill Shankly won the championship in the Football League First Division in 1972/73 . Peter Cormack scored 8 goals in 30 league games and also took with his teammates Kevin Keegan , Larry Lloyd and Emlyn Hughes the title in the UEFA Cup in 1972/73 .

His last season for Liverpool was once again very successful, with Peter Cormack (17 games / 1 goal) securing his second championship title in the First Division in 1975/76 and the second title in the UEFA Cup in 1975/76 . In the two final games against Club Bruges (3: 2 and 1: 1) Cormack was not used because he was seriously injured in October 1975 and was out for the rest of the season. He subsequently lost his regular midfield position and moved to Bristol City in November 1976 for £ 50,000 .

The club from Bristol was promoted to the first division in the previous year for the first time in over 60 years and secured relegation in the Football League First Division 1976/77 as 18th. In 1978 he won the Anglo-Scottish Cup title with City 2-1 and 1-1 against FC St. Mirren . In the 1979/80 season Cormack rose for the second time in his career from the First Division and subsequently returned to his hometown club Hibernian Edinburgh.
