Fearchar Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 This must have been a game I missed: "...Blair Spittal who played there at Tynecastle Park against Hibs. Although it may initially have looked like a strange tactical decision..." Two questions from this: 1) Have we ever played Hibs at Tynecastle? 2) If so, was it before Blair Spittal was born?

The Jukebox Rebel Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Surprisingly, yes! Our opening game of the season in 1924-25 (a 3-2 loss on 15th August) was played on a Friday night against Hibs at Tynecastle, as Easter Road was being renovated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 I remember that night! Blair Spittal scored the perfect hat-trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 No he didn't! We lost 2-3. Down to 10 men (Collins knocked out and carried off) Thistle fought back from being 2-down through Kinloch and Salisbury but the winner came in the last minute.
