Cardownie angers Edinburgh football fans

An Edinburgh council chief has enraged Hibs fans by suggesting they could share a stadium with arch-rivals Hearts.

Steve Cardownie, deputy leader of the council, made his comments in a botched bid to show Hibs fans the council is not biased in favour of Hearts.

Councillor Cardownie, a Hearts season ticket holder, said Hibs could have use of a new community stadium on council land which is earmarked to replace Tynecastle.
