Sweet Victory

The goalscorer celebrates
In the last year or so we have laid more than a few ghosts to bed. Hoodoo grounds are no more and the team has the belief that they can take points from any game.


The faithful fans who endured nine consecutive league losses since 1999 left Edinburgh in good spirits. We got the break in the first half and despite playing against ten men for most of the game, we had to defend heroically to hold the lead.


One member of Saturday’s team holds the distinction of playing in the last win at Tynecastle. A young Craigan came off the subs bench in our 0-2 win in 1999. McCulloch and Adams were on target on that occasion.

For the record here is the dismal tale of our league games against Hearts at their patch since 1999.



Congratulations again to all those involved in the 2004 victory. Let’s hope we don’t have five years to wait until the next time we celebrate in Gorgie!
