AndyNic Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 A woman from my work was clearing out a family members house and stumbled across some old newspaper clippings and photos from the clubs 1974 Centenary Year celebrations. Hearts held a celebration rally at the Usher Hall where they crowned a 'Miss. Hearts'. Does anyone on here recall this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinb Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Was at Hampden round about then for a Scotland match and part of the pre match entertainment was Miss Scotland with a girl representing each club. Miss Hearts won much to the delight of me and my friends. I presume it's the same young lady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart500 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I was at that. Don't remember much about the 'entertainment' but do remember a very enthusiastic rendition of Hurrah, Hurrah When we go Marching through Gorgie, from the stage, with the words being substituted to the usual terracing version by the audience.
