Celtic Fans In Hibs End

[Montford]

When their second went in some couldn’t contain themselves in the south stand upper in amongst our fans.
Their joy didn’t last long as a couple of Hibs piled into them
Then the Stewards escorted them (Celtic) out
Only decent ending today!
Can’t believe their arrogance sometimes thinking they can just do as they please with no consequence
Did this happen in any other sections?

[Haymaker]

How did they get in our end?

[JXM73]

Kicked off in hospitality too...few thrown out

[Lancs Harp]

Not that I was aware of. I was in P4

[Montford]

How did they get in our end?

Not sure.. there was about 8 empty seats not the front in the first half. Then noticed folk sitting in them in the second half
Maybe they sneaked in via hospitality

[Glory Lurker]

All Good Guys where I was in P3

[SiinDubai]

Never smelt any myself however a friend of mine who was also in the upper south reckoned there were a few of them

[Hermit Crab]

How do you think? The amount of tickets that were being given away or sold cheaply on social media last night and today is your answer. It was inevitable that this would happen indeed I posted the other day that there was 100% going to be Celtic fans in our end, posts were all over twitter about it, folk openly saying that they'd got tickets for the Hibs end.

[1875Sean]

Seen a female Celtic fan argue with a hibs fan outside the south, not sure if she was trying to get in our end

[LunasBoots]

Had a couple next to me, sat and videoed the Celtic end all match, did see a few fans pinned up by police in the south upper who may have been Celtic fans.

[dastardly8]

Cheating **** **** them

[Ronniekirk]

I was at very back next to Celtic support and about thirty went to police and showed Thier scarf and were ushered through a gate into the Celtic support They appeared in two s and threes

There was a Celtic fan in front of us. Didn't cheer our goal and quietly clenched his fist at theirs but never said a word.

He never bothered anyone and no one bothered him.

If they can do that they dont bother me, some can't help themselves though. Guy in the South lower takes out a Celtic flag 2 mins into game, holding it up without a care, him & his mate were quickly escorted out. After second goal there was more pushing & shoving as others outed themselves.

Football never used to be segregated. Wonder if those days will ever return?

Football never used to be segregated. Wonder if those days will ever return?

The deep rooted hatred and tribalism in football, in the top level at least, will suggest we will never see a return to non segregated stadiums. I include myself in adopting that, certainly for the duration of a game.

I’ve very close friends who are Rangers & Celtic supporters, plus a couple of Hearts friends, but I wouldn’t want to sit and watch a game with them between us be that in the stadium, pub or each other’s homes. Turned down the opportunity to do so during lockdown when football returned behind closed doors. I don’t hate them, but would hate watching a match in mixed company.

Nobody under the age of 70 now will really have had much experience of non segregated terraces so we are too far down the road of it ever being an option of return.

Part of footballs appeal from a fans perspective is the camaraderie among your fellow fans, all watching together and celebrating goals with complete strangers but you all have that bond in a stand watching Hibs.

I am old enough to remember everyone moving at half time behind their respective teams goals.......then again their were no seats then and crowds of 4,000 so a lot easier

I clearly remember little or no segregation in the 70's

[Hermit Crab]

If you want unsegregated football then most of the grounds in the National league or lower are unsegregated normally. As well as most junior games in Scotland except the big ones like Auchinleck v New Cummnock etc.

[Billy Whizz]

Quite a few in O2 were emptied when they scored. One stood up his seat waving his flag, and was escorted out

Wasn't expecting it but the Hibs end was jumping and the fans were great, even the South Upper was packed. What I didn't understand is why there were so many empty seats in the centre stand (the black ones). Must have been over a thousand of them, surely Celtic fans would have snapped them up?

[mcohibs]

Boy came down the stairs in B7 steaming waving a Celtic flag with Kyogo on it. He took a whack to the chops and had the flag torn off him. Made his way back up the stairs, hopefully towards the exit but not sure. Not a steward in sight

Were they not part of this 'red zone' thing for Covid social distancing?

Plenty people well under 70 remember non segregated crowds. Segregation kicked in late 70s so just over 40 years ago. Fans will never be mixed again after this length of time.

They only get tickets in our end because suppised Hibs supporters sold them to them.

Made for a better spectacle tho with a full-ish house. Cracking atmosphere.

I've not real issues with Celtic fans being in the Hibs end as long as they behave appropriately.

Surely as football fans, we would not wish to see fans of other clubs not being able to attend a game?

there will be plenty on here (myself included) who have occupied a seat in the home end whilst we were visiting.

[oldbutdim]

No they were not

Good fun changing ends at half time!

Been to Parkhead and Tynecastle with home fans in deep enemy territory Come away unscathed, though a bit hairy occasionally

Would never try Ibrox but have stood in ER amongst Rangers fans. Diabolical.

Was amongst Celtic fans in our 72 cup win. No real issue. Just a boy though. Safe to say they were well aware I was a Hibby

No sorry, we are talking about old firm fans here and a LOT at stake it’s a cup final, totally unacceptable for opposition fans making no effort to be discrete I.e. full Celtic gear on, cheering goals etc in the opposition end, complete joke and asking for trouble!!!

Did you see the children crying in the front row after our brave troops took it upon themselves to lamp the Celtc Fan that refused to leave?

I'm not condoning him being there, but the kids shouldn't have to go through that.

I used to go to tynecastle with my jambo brother-in-law mid 70s and there was no segregation. Nutters used to fight in the shed but rest of ground easily mixed. Rangers was always different. Fans always kept to their own part of the ground when huns were in town.

I'll never be okay with Celtic fans taking tickets from Hibs supporters. They already got more than they should have.

In an ideal world I would agree. However they only got the tickets as every Hibs fan that wanted one was there.

It’s not the fault of the Celtic fans that hundreds where on the market over the weekend.

And whilst I agree with your point about an equal split , for various reasons, Hibs did not need any more tickets for yesterday.

That’s arrogance I’m talking about
Refusal to leave
Like they’ve got a god given right to take over any football ground
I was just a wee bit along from it, but couldn’t see the kids.
Unfortunate, and not nice for them to witness.

Can guarantee you that any Hibs fan in the Celtic end would’ve faced a lot worse..

Was beside lots of Hearts fans at 7 nil game. No problems. Been amongst Celtic fans at Hampden no problems. You always avoided Rangers fans though.

Most of my friends support other teams, I've often watched games in pubs and houses together and it's been fine often very enjoyable but there's nothing better than being in amongst your own fans in a stadium when a goal goes in, hugging whichever stranger is closest.

I've sat in other stadiums for non Hibs games because I've gone with family/friends and personally I find it an odd feeling.

Think I was behind you. They were a German couple over to see the game, could've been Celtic fans obviously but they told me they were Dortmund supporters 🤷 probably just wanting pictures of the displays and flares etc to show their pals

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

Actually went for a few bevvies before catching up with my party in the Brazen Head (was a bit sceptical when the bouncer tried the whole "ye no comin for a pint pal" patter but was assured I'd have no hassle) and all the Celtic fans in there were sound as they come. Wishing us luck etc, can see why folk find it condescending but most of them are genuinely just good people like anyone else. Can't really complain at them being in our end either, if I couldn't have got a ticket for the Hibs end and was offered one for the Celtic end you better believe I'd have taken it.

I've done the same pre-match walk through thousands of Huns for the semi final and thousands of that lot yesterday.

Huns are obviously neanderthals and it's hard not to spend the entire time wondering how dad would explain his orange trainers to young six-year-old Billy. Celtic fans though are something else that it's quite hard to put the finger on - like an overwhelming arrogance simply because of who they support and believing they're better than everyone else, yet sizeable chunks of them talk, look and behave like complete tramps.

Condescending is being kind to them. Hate them with a passion. The moment any fan cheers, sings or wears anything to oust themselves as one of them then frankly they deserve all they get. We wouldn’t accept it from the other lot in Glasgow so why should we from that side?

Where do you want me to start? I've never been called a Taig, Fenian, tarrier, bead rattler etc, been spat on, had bottles thrown at my bus or actually felt like I'm likely to be jumped by Celtic fans. And I walked through the Celtic fans after the game yesterday to go to the Asda at Toryglen, no bother whatsoever.

Who said they're angels? Who said they SHOULD have been in our end? I certainly didn't condone them celebrating their goals in our end either, all I said was if it was me unable to get Hibs tickets but was offered one in the Celtic end I'd 100% have taken it, as I have done at many other grounds in the past (including Ibrox FFS!). Should definitely have sat on their hands and they deserved the smack in the coupon they got for being total fuds.

There were Hibs end tickets being held up for sale outside. I don’t suppose any potential buyer would be asked what team he supported.

Likewise I would have done same, I would have been discreet rather than expecting to be free to take the piss like some of the Celtic fans did yesterday, lets be honest though it was only a small number, I expected more to be honest.
