Pitch invasion spills over into pockets of violence following Hibs’ Scottish Cup final victory

Unseemly

This is so unsettlingly dangerous.

We get that fans are passionate and the 114-year wait for a Scottish Cup triumph meant a lot to Hibs fans but the pitch invasion at Hampden Park got way out of hand.

Following the Edinburgh side’s 3-2 victory over Rangers, the winner in which arrived via a header at the death, police were called in to separate violent exchanges.

The commentators reported certain Hibs supporters goading the losing Rangers players while small groups of Rangers fans took to the pitch and clashed with the rival support, the vast majority of which just wanted to celebrate.
