New Year Derby
A derby match was traditionally played each New Year, either on 1 January or 2 January, which is a bank holiday in Scotland. The New Year match has sometimes not taken place in recent years due to the scheduling policy of the SPL, dictated by live television coverage. This has similarly affected the Old Firm derby, which was also traditionally played at New Year. Of the 88 Edinburgh derbies played at New Year, Hibs hold a slight lead of 31 wins to 29 Hearts wins.

Famous quotes containing the word year:
“Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)
