New Anniesland Centenary Programme

Hawks will reurn to New Anniesland as part of the Centenary Programme.
The Premiership match against Heriots on Saturday 24 September will form part of a double header with Glasgow Accies playing their National League match with Linlithgow on the same afternoon.

Glasgow Accies will k.o.against Linlithgow at 2.00 p.m. followed by the Hawks v Heriots match at 3.30 p.m.

Hawks would like to thank all three clubs for their cooperation

The choice of the Heriots fixture to mark the occasion arose from the historic nature of the contest where in 1926 a crowd of 10,000 turned out at New Anniesland to see Glasgow Accies face Heriots.
Another match a that time against Heriots had to be transferred from Goldenacre to Inverleith to accomodate an attendance of approx 18,000

The matches during that era were close run affairs with Accies winning the match 10-9 having lost the previous encounter by a last minute drop goal
