“MICHAEL Nicholson shrugged his shoulders.” Unfortunately, that statement is the most noteworthy recent event for Celtic. It came during a meeting between club representatives and supporters, as fan protests were halted by a meeting arranged to provide some answers to the wider support’s most pressing concern.

HIBERNIAN FC celebrated its 150th anniversary in fantastic fashion at the start of last month with a number of events to mark the milestone.

IN 1427, the Scottish King James I had a cellar window in his palace blocked up as it was interfering with his handball game. This ancient Gaelic sport which is played similar to squash though without the racquet, has faded from popularity in Scotland though has continued with fervour in Ireland and beyond.

THERE were celebrations for Dunedin Connollys and Glasgow Gaels in the Ladies Junior Championship competitions recently, albeit only the latter were able to enjoy victory on the pitch itself.

SCOTLAND’s representatives in both the Men’s and Ladies’ North of Britain competitions have been flying the flag with pride recently and look poised to reach the latter stages.

HIBERNIAN'S European adventure this season has come to an end, with the campaign not going quite to plan.

AS WE reach the international break, Dundee United have something to smile about after successfully coming out on top in the first city derby of the season.

CELTIC'S failure to complete the very achievable task of finding a way past Kairat Almaty leaves supporters with the prospect of an unappealing season in the Europa League and Sunday fixtures to contend with, but the most serious effects will come off the park.

DUNEDIN Connollys Intermediate Ladies have been showing they might well be the team to beat in the North of Britain Championship after securing the first piece of silverware in Scotland.

A LANDMARK year lies in wait for the Ceann Creige Camogie team—a first year playing Senior Camogie in the UK.

THE hopes of Palestinian children planning to travel to Ireland for a summer of sport amid the destruction and devastation surrounding them have been dashed after their visa applications were rejected.

CEANN Creige came out on top in a fiercely contested clash against Wolfe Tones of Liverpool, edging the tie by just two points in a match that showcased precision versus power.

IF THE Senior Men’s League Football Final was a spectacle, then the Intermediate equivalent the following day—also held in Dawson Park in Dundee—was no less exciting.

TO COMMEMORATE the founding of the club on August 6, 1875, Hibernian FC has prepared an exhibition in the very place and on the very same day that the club was founded 150 years ago.

SCOTLAND GAA’s current footballing powerhouses, Glasgow Gaels and Dunedin Connollys, locked horns once again in the Senior Men’s League Final at Dawson Park in Dundee, with the Edinburgh side winning out by the slimmest of margins after a fiercely contested game.

A HIBS legend and a living link to the foundation of the club, no-one better embodies the history and spirit of the Edinburgh club, and now Pat Stanton has been honoured with the renaming of the East Stand at Easter Road.

AS HIBERNIAN FC approaches its 150th anniversary on August 6 2025, the club’s current custodians have arranged a number of special events to celebrate the sesquicentennial.

A very excited group of 21 Scotland LGFA Under-15 girls, along with their coaches and a dedicated band of parents, set off from Edinburgh Airport recently. Their destination—the Under-15 Féile in Derry.

DUNDEE United will begin their 2025-26 season in earnest playing European football against UNA Strassen of Luxembourg.

A NEW season is about to get underway for Edinburgh’s Green and White, and I, like every other Hibs fan on the planet, wait with bated breath to see if the team can carry on the momentum from last season’s largely excellent campaign.
