Rockstar hid a secret Scottish football rivalry inside a GTA newspaper

The Carcer newspaper in GTA: San Andreas contains an article headline — 'Hibees Foundering, But Jambos Safe' — which secretly references two real Edinburgh football clubs, Hibernian ('Hibees') and Heart of Midlothian ('Jambos'). This was Rockstar North's way of sneaking a hometown sports rivalry into their games, since their studio is based in Edinburgh.
