Hibs v Falkirk this Saturday - both teams have agreed to wear black armbands as a mark of respect for Cameron Armstrong. His parents would be grateful if all fans would give a 1 minute applause on the 19th minute of the game - this young lad sadly lost his life at the age of 19 on Monday. Let's all do this and pay tribute to a Falkirk player who was also a Hibs fan.

The armbands are also for Tommy Preston.

It was a terrific spectacle. Cameron Armstrong's family must have taken some comfort from that.

Agreed - well done to the Hibs fans - couldnt tell from where I was sitting if the Falkirk fans joined in?

It didn't look like it from where I was. Infact , I asked my boy if he could see them clapping.

Falkirk player who was taking the throw in at the time joined in for a bit as well.
Nice touch by fans today.

Falkirk fans were clapping, advantages of being 6 foot 4! But I was looking about just taking it in. When you witness something like that it puts the football into perspective.

We were sitting right next to Falkirk fans. Certainly looked like they were clapping. Well done to all involved.

I might be wrong but have seen no mention of this moving tribute in the media.
