    Hibernian Football Club are a massive football team based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Currently competing in the Scottish Premiership, they're one of the biggest teams in Scotland behind the Old Firm giants of Celtic and Rangers.
    Hibs competed in the first ever European Cup season, have won 4 top league titles in Scotland as well as numerous other cups. What a club!
    Their stadium, Easter Road, is one of my favourites in Scotland!

    Probably my favourite video so far. Hibs also have a mention in the history of the FIFA Club World Cup as they won the first ever football match dubbed as a Football world championship when they beat Preston NE in 1887.

    Superb video yet again Sam, i remember watching the Hibee's on TV in the 70's giving the likes of the mighty Leeds and Liverpool sides a real fright in European games, plus as a Jags fan i'm proud that Firhill was the first Glasgow ground to host a European game as Djurgardens home venue as bad weather in Sweden meant they couldn't play at home so they chose Firhill as their home park. Keep them coming.

    Even though you find it hard to imagine Hibs and Hearts combining, they used to do it. I recall attending the pre-season charity games in the 1950's, held alternately each year at each other's ground, with an "Edinburgh Select" team, made up from the two clubs. The visiting guest teams were from England's 1st Division (now the English Premier League). The grounds were packed and the fans from each club stood shoulder to shoulder in friendship with never a hint of animosity.

      The rivalry wasn't so black and white back in those days. My Grandad was from Irish immigrant stock, but, supported Hearts. He would attend matches at Tynecastle and then at Easter Road the following saturday. Fortunately both my father and his father were Hibs supporters or I could have turned out a wrong'un!!

    Great Video! I use to live near the Hibs stadium and was able to see it from my bedroom window. Despite being a Hearts fan, I would enjoy seeing a sea of people in green going down Albion Road to the stadium. Being Canadian and growing up with Hockey fandoms, it was really nice experiencing sports fans getting into the spirit of their team in another country. One thing I would never do would wear anything red and or maroon when a game was on. Being a Montreal Canadian fan, Hib fans would mistaken the Habs' logo for the Hearts as my Dad discover when he would visit Scotland.

    Interesting video. Long felt Hibs seem an interesting club and a fun team to support.
    So the question of how an Edinburgh merger would have fared?
    Firstly as we have learned from your videos Scot’s football it’s about Community and solidarity. It’s not all about winning.
    Trying to somehow rival the ‘Old firm’ isn’t what the fan base are after. I think it would’ve been a terrible mistake. More like a franchise FC, a kind of MK Dons.
    Clubs like Hibs and Hearts have real identity and meaning. It would have just alienated real fans.
    Seeing Hibs fans belt out ‘Sunshine on Leith’ is truly spine tingling and moving. Moments like that is what fans are seeking.
    Having watched Hibs play QOTS in October 2016 and goin back to Carlisle on the train the Hibs fans were have a good laugh. It’s that camaraderie that supporting football is about.
    I just don’t think a merger would work with two proper clubs like these two. I think half the fans would have just walked away.
    I lived in Hull, I followed the Rugby league. I supported HKR. No one would have swapped their club for a merger with Hull FC even if this guaranteed success.
    Identify and belonging is everything. Winning is just a bonus.

    We are not religious, we are a Scottish football club from the capitol that is all. We are very different from Celtic.

    Get into a Hibs v Hearts game next time. Sit in the south stand. You’ll never ever forget it. It’s so constantly loud.

    What about wolves with flood lights in the mid 50s who played in Europe.

      They still weren't the first & only British club to compete in the 'very first' European Cup competition though, which is what the fact was. The very first European Cup was in 1955-56, Hibs were the only British club invited to play that year.

    It's hard to say what a united Hibs/Hearts would've done. How many fans would they have had? I remember it well when the news broke that Wallace Mercer at Hearts had made the proposal, an already fierce rivalry intensified ten fold. I really don't think many fans would've supported a united team.
    Hearts and Hibs try to emulate the Old Firm rivalry, the 'Proddies' and the 'Tims'. Hearts have a real anti catholic element to their fan base and to many are seen as the 'Mini Huns' , Hibs, obviously with their roots and tradition are seen as the Irish catholics ( even though they don't actually associate with the nationalism or religion associated with Celtic), so it's my belief the venture, had it actually gone ahead would've been doomed to failure. I don't believe they'd have had a fan base to work with, so the death of two clubs with history and tradition would've been for nothing.

      Hibernian originally only signed Catholics unlike Celtic. Also I think some Hibernian fans do still associate themselves with Irish nationalism just maybe not the religious element of it. Outside of Scotland Irish nationalism and Home Rule is not something that's frowned upon.

      @SRSM1314 Good to see. Being an Irish Republican doesn't by default make you a supporter of the IRA. Any rightminded person should believe in Ireland's right to self determination.

    I think if it wasnt for religion Hearts could be the only club in edinburgh and be closer to competing with celtic but I think Hibernian would have reformed anyway

    To ignore the fact that Hibernian were the first British team to beat both real Madrid and Barcelona is unforgivable
