Meant at Hibs-Huns and Hibs-Celtc. Don't recall any bad feeling of any sort between Hibs and Hearts fans at that time. Huns were always poisonous. Always.

I can remember constant battles both at Easter Rd and Tynie in the respective "Sheds" from the late 60s well into the 70s till segregation happened.

Never been to a Rangers v Celtic Derby, and no intention of ever going

I’d say he’s referring to when Huns or Celtic came to Easter Road it was very different. The Derby was a game you could comfortably go along to with mates supporting each side. No problem. If you wanted a bit of handbags you could get that in the shed. There was a line of polis down the middle and people threw abuse and the odd piss filled can at each other. Not pleasant but not scary violence either. Personally I chose to go and watch the game like most people did those days. God I wish it was still like that but also happy with the way ER is how

Never felt any worries in a Hibs-Hearts crowd in those days, surrounded or not. Huns and Celtc a different matter.

Hertz fans went crazy at the PS 5 o'clock goal an rushed the celebrating Hibby's. Lots of trouble and continued on the way home. bTW Iain Munro was a part time teacher at my school and all we wanted to do was hear about that goal.

Was there proper trouble at the 7-0 game? I never really noticed any. Certainly not on the scale of May 2016 anyway.

I like your name.. according to my dad (who was actually there) he said it was before segregation and that they were in a mixed group. He said he had to calm down one of his Hibs friends who was getting "a bit carried away" 😂😂

Was in terracing (now the Wheatfield) around halfway line with group of 5 Hibees and 2 Hertz (one was Brother in Law) and never saw any problems. most of the Yams had left early 😂
Went back to my Sisters flat in Harrison Park after game with family.
Plenty leg pulling for the B-I-L that night I can tell you 🤣🤣🤣

I was in the school end and wasn’t any bother but most hearts fans were away by half time anyway, but use to have loads of trouble at Easter road . Hearts fans were really bad lot back then only changed in the eighties with the hibs casuals .

Don’t remember any trouble until after 1973 and certainly not in the 1960s.I was in the enclosure level with the penalty box at the end we scored five.It was the usual mixed bunch.It’s interesting that if the number of Hibs supporters who have claimed to be at the game had actually been there there then the attendance would have been 80000.I’ve got at least six pals who now say they were there but weren’t.I ended up Billy Nomates and went on my own.

[southern hibby]

My father was there ( disclaimer he’s not mine as my mother was on the game when I was conceived, well I’d rather have that than a Jambo as a dad ). He told me he went with a Hibs mate and they had a half bottle each with them and had a bet which was whoever scored owed the other person a drink.

Said by the time the seventh went in he didn’t give a hoots as he was mince on his mates bottle. Said there was lots of banter and pizz taking but no trouble.

Me too, to be fair.
I do recall the Glesgie polis being totally nonplussed before the ... ... 5-1 game. They couldn't understand how both sets of fans were integrating so freely and being so friendly to each other. Alien to them I suppose.

I remember it well.

We did the usual new year day game arrangement. A dozen of us, probs 8 Hibbys and 4 Jambos each with a half bottle in the inside pocket of our coats/combat jackets.

We were standing about level with 18 yard line at the Gorgie end on the main terracing in the first half. The only trouble was the Jambo's refused to pass round their bottles after the 4th goal went in and moved away from us Hibby's at half time.

We never attended a NYD game together after that.

[Keith_M]

My Grandad's mate, a Hearts Fan, didn't know the game was on at 2pm and turned up shortly before 3, only to be met by thousands of fellow Fans on their way home.

Needless to say he decided to join them when he found out the score :-)

I stood around the same area having entered through the Wheatfield entrance with 5 Jambos and another 2 Hibbys. We all had hip flasks/half bottles in our pockets and from memory there had been a recent history of no scoring draws in the previous games between the two clubs and we jokingly said that we would have a drink each time a goal was scored. I was a goner by halftime but I don’t remember any crowd trouble where we stood but there was certainly plenty banter.

Anyone seen the Rangers meltdown thread? I'm sure I left it around here somewhere

[brog]

Absolutely no trouble at the 7-0 game. I would say the McLeod St end was 90% Hibs, Gorgie Rd & Wheatfield about 70% Yams, until half time anyway. Funny thing is we were about 18 yard line at McLeod St end in Wheatfield, pretty much where there nutters congregate now. We were all Hibs but there were plenty Yams nearby but no problems at all. We had several half bottles with us to take to my pal's house after the game. We saved him one nip!

Love it. But surely the tribute act have won three league titles? Just not the big one. Oh, and a Petrosomething cup.

Still looked really packed in second half. Maybe more Hibs fans turned up when they heard the half time score. remember going to game with my mate and his dad and listening to the radio. Old firm called off I said if Hibs win 5-0 we go top. Everybody turned round and looked at me as if I was mad!

Finishing fourth is no different from finishing second (or third). Either means entry at the First Qualifying Round of the Europa League. Winning the Scottish Cup means entry at Second Qualifying Round.

Incorrect, if Celtic win the League and the Scottish Cup then 2nd place enters the Europa League in the 2nd Qualifying Round.
