The remarkable story of the world's oldest football rivalry – Heart of Midlothian v Hibernian – which is interwoven with a fascinating 150-year history of Edinburgh as the two clubs have fought – often literally – for dominance of Scotland's capital city. For a century and a half the two clubs' fierce rivalry has ebbed and flowed, shaped by religion, immigration, social class, war, money, dubious owners, and even a hostile takeover attempt. This book tells of the exhilarating highs and wretched lows, agonising near-misses and everything in between. Published in 2023.
