Hearts and Rangers meltdown was a joy to behold for Celtic support Celtic supporters were pleased with the SPFL’s post split news yesterday afternoon but the same could not be said for either the Hearts of the Rangers supporters who went into meltdown which for the Celtic support was a joy to behold… Hearts fans at Dundee in May 1986.
