I remember the Dunfermline 2 - Rangers 0 Scottish Cup game at East End Park,1988 I think it was, cracking game, over 18,000 in there.
We were in the home terrace behind the goal, in the corner closest to the main stand and the place was full of Rangers fans, who were your standard scum of the earth OF fans, my dad was there with me, and was raging at their behaviour, especially when they were just fishing where they stood.

I remember he pushed down to the front to speak to a Policeman, to tell him to get them out of there, and the copper told him to calm down and f. Off, or he`d be the one getting arrested, which didn`t go down well


Some redress:
We were actually in the away end for that game. Not exactly sure the circumstances that led to that. Most uncomfortable game I`ve ever been to. Seeing your team score twice and not being able to cheer it then or celebrate the Brown sending off.

I was working turnstiles - missed the first goal.
After turnstiles closed, was put as a steward with my brother, directly up from the corner, behind Beedie’s corner for the second goal - I let out one cheer, and a thousand p1ssed off mutant faces turned towards us…
Head steward summoned us all to get out of the crowd and onto the cinder track - thankfully!

Whilst I`m sure 99% on both sides have no beef with each other now, some of the more senior on here will remember what the Hibs/Pars/Inverkeithing tension was like in the late 80s,early 90s,and even more recently. In its day, Hibs at EEP would make the current Falkirk/Pars ultras look like a Sunday school picnic. There are some on both sides who still remember the Kronk, and related incidents.
I hope it goes smoothly, but I`d be lying if I said I wasn`t slightly twitchy.
Historically speaking, this isn`t the innocent fixture that some on here think, and fans mixing in the home end could be dangerous.

in fairness although i mentioned Celtin 98 above i remember Hibs at the same time having a huge following in a relegation battle and a very unsavory atmosphere with reports of lots of bother along bottom of townhill road/bellyeoman and up into east port.

"Dunfermline Two, the Rangers Wan, oh what a thrill tae beat the Souness man!"

Leishman got his poetic prediction wrong that day...

Funnily enough I was on turnstiles as well that game in the home end.
Heard a cheer and wasn’t sure who for as Rangers fans were nearest my turnstile.
Was delighted to look towards NW area and fans bouncing about.
