NAZI SCUM TEAMING UP WITH THE CASUALS; CURSE OF THE CASUALS DAY THREE Racist and drug links to hooligans. The episode that focused on Scottish hooligans included a segment on the CCS and there were interviews with two of its former members as well as a journalist who had reported on them during the emergence of Scottish casuals in the mid 1980s. During filming the director requested that the Hibs boys sing some CCS songs and chants and they complied much to his approval. The following is a list of elements of the CCS that are recognised internally by the gang as well as outside parties.

While in the dressing room as one of the production assistants was handing out the white Hibernian away jerseys provided by the club they noticed that the Hibs casuals were wearing t-shirts with hooligan slogans on them and instructed them that during the show not to make any noise until prompted and on no account should they reveal their CCS shirts while on air. Linked to capital side Hibs, CCS thugs earned a sickening reputation for violence at a time when hooliganism shamed the national sport. By the early part of the 21st century there was a further wave of casual styled hooligans attached to Hibernian who had resurrected the moniker of the Hibs Baby Crew.Obviously, there are others out there who won't hesitate to use violence against a Scotland player if they are paid enough. Yet Blance is something of an enigma: to the police and football authorities he is a serious criminal; to those who know him he is a loyal friend; to his fellow Hibbys he is a dedicated supporter who never misses a game.

There were dozens of empty bottles and cans on the hotel's beautifully-maintained lawns and flower beds. Crime Capital; The street gangs of the 1960s and 70s spawned a new generation of ruthless and violent criminals". Keep it in the family: An outline of the social ontology of Hibs Casuals, Game without Frontiers: Football, Identity and Modernity. It touches upon the football hooliganism around that time and the Hibs casuals make an appearance as they attack Houlihans bar in Dundee to take on the Utility.With carnage raging around them, it appeared the brawl had no end in sight, but what happened next changed the course of history for the CCS and solidified their status as the top boys in Scotland. An away match in November 1983 against Airdrie resulted in a clash with the well-known local hooligans, Section B, which further strengthened these connections and helped bolster the young Hibs boys confidence into forming a casual-style hooligan firm. A paltry crowd of just over 5,000 saw the visitors ease to a comfortable 3-0 win, but for many of those in the home crowd, the football was simply a warm up to one of the most shocking instances of violence ever seen on Edinburgh’s streets. Once the slot had aired and the dust had settled, it was later revealed that Sky Sports had been inundated with more complaints about Soccer AM than they'd ever received before. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Capital City Service (CCS), who aligned themselves with Edinburgh team Hibs, were among the most violent football hooligan groups in British football.
