Sunshine On Leith | Hibs Fans Sing After The 2016 Scottish Cup Final

[@spiegel59]

I'm an Australian who knows bugger-all about Scottish football. Or any football really. On the train on the way from England to Edinburgh last week, I heard a guy singing this and I smiled to myself, thinking "how fabulously Scottish that there's some random guy on the train singing a Proclaimers song." It's a great song, so I decided to watch it later on KZbin. This led me to this clip and some research on its connection to Hibernian FC. Blew my little Australian mind. As a result I'm going to the Hibs v Dundee Utd match tomorrow. Hibs have a new fan for life.

My great great grandad founded the Hibs in the 19th century. Ironically we have an antique Hibs barometer from when the club was formed. Someone ran off to canada with the clubs cash which bankrupted the club. We all became jambos. When I was a wee kid my family hoodoo was Hibs wouldn't win the Scottish Cup until our family is back with the hibs. We were happy after 120 odd years you won again. As a musician and a passionate edinburger im really envious that you guys have the best Scottish song and I will play it at my funeral in these dark times as football is just a business.

Being from Northampton in England, I have no connection to Hibs. But Trainspotting is my favourite book and after reading the 5th instalment, it describes this final from the main characters perspective so beautifully that it's touched me ever since. When Renton narrates that him, Spud, Begbie and Sick boy are singing Sunshine in Lieth and he observes that it's the first time they have actually sang it together in unison, it raised hairs on the back of my neck. Not only the a club finally having their moment in the sun, but a group of friends with a troubled and fregmented history finally having a brief but genuine moment of mutual joy shared together.

Derby County Fan. Has to go down as the most spine chilling moment at a football ground ever.. Watched this loads of times. To think the Proclaimers happened to have written the perfect song in the era when Hibs would win the cup after 114 year wait and 10 previous fails as losing finalists makes it all the more poignant. The perfect game taking the lead, going 2 - 1 down and rallying to get the late winner. Goosebumps stuff. The sun shone on the crowd too. Just perfect. Does make me smile though. All the rivalry with the 'Us English' and the people of your great nation end up fighting with each other. Who is the enemy anyway? Time to put all that division to bed, unite and embrace the humanity of this joyous experience. I bet the Rangers fans who have seen this since, wish they'd have stuck around and joined in the incredible wall of sound.

[@colnixon8989]

What a sight and sound that'd be! If only we lived in that reality.

[@iainhorsburgh5396]

Lovely words my friend. A lifelong hibs supporter . Thank you

[@mattybhoy6373]

I’m a Celtic fan & I keep coming back to this time & time again. Absolutely love it. It’s not even my team but it’s fantastic & sung with such passion. I remember that day,belting it out with you in my livingroom. It’s fantastic and gets me right in my heart every time.💚

[@elzorro7of9]

Thank you Hibs for a moment I can come to whenever I am down. Sometimes, just sometimes the good guys win. Hugs and kisses.

[@ferrit22]

I'm a Celtic fan but I've always had a soft spot for Hibs and their fans. Sunshine on Leith happens to be my karaoke song aswell. Amazing lads and lassies what a support 👏👏👏👏

[@nickblackwell6775]

I'm Leeds United,but that was awesome Hibs, choked me up,amazing

[@LongsightBlues]

Chills down the spine and misty eyes every time. Let’s be honest, it makes me sob like a baby. Knowing how long Hibs had to wait makes it all the sweeter. And I support an English team but I know that seeing your team lift their first trophy in your living memory is something that lasts forever. And what a song to share with your special people at a special time. ‘Mon the Emerald Sons of Leith. Top men

[@djc2526]

Not a hibs fan. But every few years I probably stick this on and comment. And I stand by what I say every time. This is arguably one of best, purest, most positive moments in Scottish footballs history. What a moment.

[@derekkearns3377]

I'm the same I'm a St. Patrick's athletic fan in dublin

[@martin1970127]

[@Arcadiabeckons]

Genuinely touching seeing the range of replies: first-timers from overseas, English neighbours, congratulations spanning Scotland and, as a recent Hearts fan, wonderful to see rivalry take a back seat to passion, achievement and history-making!

[@firemanpaul89]

Passion in football is what makes football....I love leeds united and we are a passionate bunch... but this is one of the most spine tingling moments I've ever seen in football
