Remember when we crowned Manchester as the UK’s football capital? Well we were referring more to size, scale and number of trophies held at the current time, rather than passion of the local fans necessarily (just in case any scousers, geordies or anyone else disagrees with us).
With this in mind, we thought we’d flag up some of the choicest pickings from the fixture list north of the border, where many of our guests prefer to enjoy their football and the fierce rivalry between the town’s two teams; Hearts and Hibs.
Whether your loyalties lie elsewhere and you’re a visiting away fan, or you’re a home supporter simply wishing to avoid making your way home from Tynecastle or Easter Road on crowded public transport, why not stay in the city at your leisure after the match?
