@Armaghtoffee @The Celtic View Pat Nevin spoke about it. It's the reason he supports Hibs now. When the cap fits you have to wear it sadly.

Never heard of Danny Doyle before apart from the bearded gentle singer who sang Whiskey on a Sunday. What years are we talking about?
He used to be a Celtic fan, but now supports Hibs. I have his book on the kindle, but i didn't get around to reading it yet.

They aren't "unique" though are they? Scottish Presbyterian's founded many clubs up there. So there's nothing special to Celtic and Hibs' relationship (they dislike each other intensely in any case) as opposed to other clubs.

I'm not doubting it.
But a stereotypical Harry if ever there was.
Is Harry some sort of scottish expression? I haven't a clue what the word means tbh.

Partick Thistle F.C. are referred to as The Harry Wraggs in rhyming slang for their nickname The Jags.
Numpty is one you may be more familiar with.

Think it's pretty obvious that the vast majority of clubs in Scotland would have been formed by Scots!!! which in itself would make Celtic/Hibs unique within it at the time!
They are "unique" in relation to their Irish roots and initial reasons for their targeted support,their shared catholic/Irish heritage and the fact that both clubs support still comes (mainly) from that demographic so they are inextricably linked.
Don't think any Celtic/Hibs fans would be offended by being referred to as "cousins" tbh?
You seem to be the only one that's trying to deem the term as some sort of slur? (wonder why you would do that, Ehh?)
Now the throbber thing, care to give an explanation why???

Is this the same Pat Nevin who has come up with various reasons why he stopped supporting Celtic? If so, I think I'll treat whatever he has to say with a great deal of caution.
The man is a complete fraud. A liar who will say whatever he thinks will get him more gigs in the media. Iirc he said the first Hibs game he went to everyone was talking about Iggy Pop and David bowie. His lies aren't even verging on the believable.
When Nevin complained about Celtic supporters singing songs about the IRA, he said something along the lines of "To anyone complaining about this. If you sing sectarian songs, I will call it out."
As soon as he said it Celtic supporters wondered if that would include the Rangers supporters songbook, as Nevin had just sat through 120 minutes of a League Cup final in which they had sung all their traditional songs without uttering a world of complaint. I think the fact he hasn't said a single word about the Rangers supporters songs in the 11 years since he uttered those words would indicate he has absolutely no intentions whatsoever of complaining about them.
Personally, I can't be bothered with rebel songs. I would much prefer it if our fans songs were about football, with some Irish songs thrown in.
Dont you see any hypocrisy in a supporter of a club who's fans gleefully bounce up and down celebrating decades old abuse of teenage boys, who sang about how the Lisbon Lions won't see ten in a row in the week after two of them died, and who sang "Merry Christmas Tommy Burns" at Livingstone a couple of months ago complaining abut the songs of another clubs supporters?
When the cap fits, and all that...
Going back to Pat Nevin, the man who even lied about the reasons he got a hair transplant, I think this guy says it better than me.

This is interesting because you equate being Scots with being a particular group of people: those who come from a particular faith. Any Scots who are not from that tradition are hyphenated-Scots: Irish-Scots, or Catholic Scots or Irish Catholic Scots. That's how you are able to justify to yourself the word "unique" in relation to them and it's how you can also use the term "cousins" when commenting on two or more football clubs formed a century and a half ago by people who were not Scots Presbyterian.
This apparently innocent terminology is at the heart of exclusion and bigotry up there.

He's talking about Celtic supporters singing Irish rebel songs.
