Beating Celtic at Parkhead

[Francis Albert]

How many have experienced this? Apart from today that is. In November 1969 I saw Hearts beat Celtic 2-0 at Parkhead, Celtic (then recent European champions and one of the best teams in Europe). Wth goals from Donald Ford and Roald Jensen. Before today had we done it since then? 

[Radio Ga Ga]

I was there when we won 2-3, what a day, we f memory serves me right, Simpson,Cameron and Neighsmith 

[GinRummy]

The last game I was at parkhead was 2005 (just looked up the year). Travelled on the Dickens bus and goals from Lee Miller and Mark Burchill saw us win 2-0. I stopped going to as many away games a couple of seasons later. More due to personal stuff than anything happening at the club and have never regularly attended away matches since. 

[Paris 84]

Crabbo 

[Fitzroy Pointon]

Was at the 3-2 in 99/00 and the 2-0 in 2005. The day the pope died. Rumour is that was the straw that broke the camels back. 

[N Lincs Jambo]

91-92, 2-1 shortly after New Year. Crabbe and Millar iirc? The win took us top. The next week we got humped 4-0 at home by the mutton molestors.

[Fitzroy Pointon]

Also, if counting beating them in Glasgow, the 1-0 win in '95 when David Hagen scored late on. Must have been about 200 Hearts fans that night.

Im 51 seen it just once crabbe and miller we were brilliant that day. On bbc sportsound coming home it went. And the goals came like this. Hearts are ripping celtic apart will never forget it.

Probably my favourite ever match I've attended. It was a Cameron double and Naysmith who scored although Simpson had his best performance in maroon.

 

The shine was taken off it slightly a few days later when Inverness CT beat them at Parkhead in the Scottish Cup.

[jamdunc]

Sure there was a cup win 2 nil there also. League cup I think. Possibly bednar scoring. All very vague I know

[cazzyy]

Cup game - Velicka 👍

I was at that game as well, 2-0 against a Celtic that got to the European cup final that season. Roald scored from way out almost on the byline and Ford added a 2nd before halftime. Backs to the wall 2nd half but held on for the win. We were chased out the ground at full time and our bus was attacked as we tried to get out the car park. A great day though!

[John Findlay]

Also a cup game with a Michael Stewart penalty.

[The Treasurer]

Been going there for fifty years but it's definitely in single figures 

[Australis]

Hate them both, but I like beating Celtic more than us beating the wee team.

 

Probably because we rarely lose against the wee team.

Scoreboard said 2007 was last time

Quite a few but not as many as I’d like to.  Velicka, Miller and Crabbe, et al 

[stirlo]

I was there for both the league cup wins so the Velicka 2-0 game and the Stewart penalty game.

 

A less happy memory around that period I think was a game we were leading 1-0 and then lost a couple very late on to lose 2-1. 

[Boozyuzi]

Was there one when we beat them there and Robbo scored and was later carried off injured?   1985 ish

[stirlo]

I wasn't at the Crabbe/Millar 2-1 game in 92, but I remember thinking after that game that we were very much in the mix for the league title.

[SectionDJambo]

The 1-0 in 85/86 when Robbo was injured and got treatment on the pitch for a while, resulting in an eternity of added time. Long before the board showed how much extra was being played. It was torture.

The 2-1 when John Millar and Scott Crabbe scored.

Can’t remember any others from my time of travelling to most games but we got a few draws and were robbed sometimes. 

[EH11 2NL]

Was there when Mickey Stewart scored, great night.

That was a real feature against Celtic in the 80s.

It was nervous stuff for me today, even with a few minutes to go.

[Victorian]

There was one in 2007.  3-1.  Ivaskevicius,  Driver,  Pospisil.

Crabbo 

yeah Johnny Miller and Crabbo I was there. Haven’t been for a decade or more. Hate the place and our record there. Kudos to all that went 👍👍

In a funny way I don't get nervous in these games until I think we are actually in danger of winning them - which basically means the last 3 of 4 minutes! I've just seen us lose so many late goals to both of the Old Firm down the years that even when we're leading 2-0 with 10 minutes to go, my working assumption is that we'll find a way to throw it away!

I was there too.  It was my first trip to Parkhead.

Ford as I recall jinked along the 18 yard line before slotting the ball home. Great day ... Just 54 years ago.

 

[loveofthegame]

Velicka double in the cup only win I’ve seen there… don’t go anymore. Hovel.

I was there mate. Its the only time I've seen us win at the old parkhead. That was a great result against a not too shabby side. I was on the excursion buses. Manor?

[Mikey1874]

3rd time I've seen Hearts go 2-0. First win.

And Millar..... 2 brilliant goals

[Sooperstar]

I was at the 2009/10 league cup match (Stewart penalty). I was in Celtic hospitality though so my ability to celebrate was fairly limited. 

[Spitonastranger]

Just watched highlights on YouTube from stinky TV the pain is great  at one point before Kingslys goal he says Hearts are getting a fee kick every time the fall down. 😍

[Tour22]

Magnificent win today.

I was one of them, that was a strange night at Hampden 

[DavyH]

Fantastic result today, as usual I watched Hearts tv fearing the worst in dark central France.  I think the local all know now about the magnificent Heart of Midlothian

Start of the winning run. We played a super controlled game which was quite unlike Doddie. Season before we chucked a two goal lead through there. 

As a young laddie I remember thinking Levein was the best player in the country. Him and Jardine were imperious.

This one for me. Absolute riot in the Hearts end. Fantastic.  4th Jan 1992.  Scott Crabbe & John Millar.

Fantastic to see us putting on on a fantastic performance at Parkhead. Beating them and not having one player getting a card. Brilliant sums it up.  A word of praise for the refereeing as well - I thought Clancy had a really good match today. Well done to him as well.

What a day that was.

Absolute bedlam. I was there with Mrs NLJ and ParisJambo who used to post on here. When the second went in I think I landed about 30 yards away from where I was originally standing. Anyone who was there will know what I’m talking about 😂 

[martoon]

1-0 in 1985/86

2-1 in 1991/92

1-0 in 1994/95 (Hampden)

2-1 in 2011/12 (Hampden)

 

I don't think I've been to Parkhead since a 0-5 thrashing in the mid-naughties. 2004 or 05, I think.

[No Idle Talk]

I was there in 1985 when we beat them 0-1. Robbo scored. 

 

That day was the one and only time I felt frightened leaving a football stadium. They chased us from the stadium down to the bus park and they were throwing stones and rocks at the buses. Even wee grannies throwing stuff. Our bus made it out of there intact but only just. 

 

Scary experience for a 10yo laddie. I had never experienced that kind of thing before.

They must have been after revenge for what happened a year or so prior to that when the Gorgie Aggro leathered them on the London Road. I couldn’t believe my eyes when that happened, probably a bit like the result today tbf.

[Angel eyes]

Been to parkhead 3 times,  2-3 game week after the super Caley go ballistic 0-0 then smoked 6-0……vowed never to go back 🤷

[mickycameron98]

I was there in 2000. 2-0 down and won 3-2. Cameron, Naismith and Cameron again with the winner. Niemi was outstanding that day along with many others.
