FOOTIE-mad Pat Davidson is Britain’s oldest and most loyal fan — having watched her beloved Hibernian FC from the stands for 91 years.
Pat, 96, was first taken to their Easter Road stadium in Edinburgh as a thrilled five-year-old by her dad Angus.
She feared her days watching Hibs were over when she moved into a care home.
But staff arranged a VIP hospitality experience with the club, including four-course fine dining, for the Scottish Premiership clash against St Mirren on November 9.

Pat, who lives at Lauder Lodge in the city, was also presented with a new Hibs scarf and had a chat with the club’s sporting director Malky Mackay about the game.
But there were no such favours from St Mirren — who beat bottom-of-the-table Hibs 2-1.
