Celtic Soccer Crew attack a Dundee pub

A pivotal moment in this formative season was when the CCS encountered the leading casual gang at the time in Scotland - the Aberdeen Soccer Casuals - before a Hibernian v. Aberdeen game in Edinburgh. The two mobs clashed on Easter Road and after some fighting the CCS ran away, but one Hibs boy got severely beaten and was in a coma for a week. Rather than deter them, this near-tragedy emboldened the fledgling gang to continue with their efforts in being casual hooligans. At the next Hibs match, against local rivals Hearts at Tynecastle, the CCS fared a lot better when they came up against the notorious Gorgie Aggro. This also proved to be a turning point in the Edinburgh football hooligan scene.
