Hi folks. A few of you will have known my Dad who sadly passed away peacefully at home yesterday after a long illness. My Dad had his first European away day in Hamburg in the 60’s and then missed very few games until he became ill and couldn’t travel. He managed the games in the Faroes and Molde a few years ago but was too Ill to get to San Marino, Lucerne or Villa this season. He loved overseas pre season tours and him and my Mum, Betty, had some brilliant trips and met loads of fantastic Hibbys in some cracking places. He’ll be sorely missed by all of his family and his many friends in the Hibs family. He’s up there with the angels now. Miss you Dad 💔💚

Very sad news.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Dougie and Betty on pre-season tours to Germany in the late 1980s. Dougie was a kind and helpful man and always had a twinkle in his eye. He always had time for a chat and could talk about Hibs for ages.

He was a good Hibs man and will be sadly missed.

Sincerest condolences to all the family.

Always sad to hear of the passing of an old Hibernian.
I didn't know Dougie, but he seems to have been quite a guy. May he rest in peace.
Sincere condolences to Dougie's family and friends.

Sorry for your loss. Not that many fans travelled abroad in the 60s and 70s. RIP

Had the good pleasure to meet your Dad on many occasions through my father in law John Douglas, and always about Hibs.

Sorry to hear about this sad news. Sending sincere condolences to you, your family, and friends…💚💚

Sorry to hear this. My old man was a big hibbie back in the day … between that and growing up near the ground, I was only ever going to follow one team … even when I saw some wee mates deciding to follow the old firm. He left us during the eighties as our team was at a very low ebb, but he had seen the best Hibs versus the best elsewhere many a time. My condolences.

Scott, John is doing ok, not brilliant but ok for a 90 year old dyed in the wool (just like Douglas) Hibby. Hasn’t been to ER for a number of years now as his mobility hasn’t been good for some time now. Lockdown did him no favours (as most) whatsoever…

I’ll pass on this sad news to him… Take care 💚 GGTTH

Really sorry to hear that news Scott. Dougie was a legend in Leith. I've passed the sad news on to a few mates who knew him better than me, and we all wish you, John and the whole family all the best.

So sorry to hear this Scott. Dougie was such a friendly and kind bloke, and his enthusiasm for Hibs was almost matched by that for Leith Franklin Cricket Club, where he exerted such a positive influence over the years and made the club a welcoming place.
Definitely one of the good guys.
RIP Dougie, from another Dougie.
