    Hibs were the original Catholic club, and were formed by the ancient order of Hibernians. When Celtic were formed, they became the main Catholic club, as those who fled from Ireland to Scotland because of the famine went to glasgow as it was closer. Hibs had no appeal after that and decided to change their outlook, becoming neutral as such. They remain very jealous of Celtic and hate us nearly as much as they hate the huns. Dont like them personally.

    thanks mate

    it seems that religion and origin had big influence to supporting clubs in your country

    in Poland ( maby because 95% polish people are Catholic) that is very simple - u mostly support the Club of your town, and when there is bigger town with two big clubs - u support the clubs nearest your birth place, nothing else matters
    all in Poland hate Capitol's club - Legia ( with exeptions ), - i personally hate them to ( but have respect )- why i don't know - because all of my friends hate them too
    that is all.........very very simple - i think the relationships between various clubs ( hatred or sympathy ) became shaped from simple human reasons ( empl: we hate theese * cause they hate us: because of why ???? - i don't know - hehe simple as that and little stupid)
    u have some deeper reasons ( i don't know that is better ) - but at least u know why...


    peace

    Yeah, good remark, clemenza. But what is more curious than rancour between clubs, are so-called alliances. If you're for example a Legia fan you have inborn alliance with Pogon and few other teams. Personally, I support only Legia in Poland and from our alliances I support only ADO Den Haag.

    And I don't understand why some fans support foreign teams, when they're playing with other Polish club. This kind of hatred between clubs is stupid I think.
