Cagoules in the rain

Hibs 2 Falkirk 2, 10 December 1994

There they sit, like the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, so many cowled, pointy-hooded devotees of the great game, worshipping at the shrine of Football. Or is it bin day?

Just another bunch of miserable fans subjected to the Scottish climate on the pitiless open terrace of the Dunbar End, some of the last unfortunates to be forced to sit down on a cold bucket seat in the pissing rain.

At least they were treated to a relatively exciting game by the looks of things, a 2-2 draw between Hibs and Falkirk. Former Hibs and Nottingham Forest midfielder Brian Rice thought he had won it for Falkirk with a late penalty, only for Michael O’Neill to nick an equaliser in the last minute, his 10th goal of the season so far.
