Halloween is a time of year when people celebrate the dark side. Some may go overboard and throw on a fancy dress, and some may plaster their mush with face paint. But what law abiding citizens don’t expect is to go to a football fixture and fear for their safety.
Edinburgh derbies are notoriously venomous, both on and off the pitch but last night’s shenanigans showed the world the amount of passion and some might say, hatred within the City between rival Hearts and Hibs supporters.
