Martin Boyle swerves double Hibs injury scare after raging Partizan fans launched Vodka bottles
The two-goal hero of Belgrade enraged the notorious Gravediggers by celebrating in front of the home end Martin Boyle admits he got a real scare as he swerved yet another serious knee injury in Belgrade, writes Ross Pilcher from Serbia. And it wasn't the only one as he revealed raging Partizan fans launched VODKA bottles at his head as he celebrated Hibs' opener. Boyle was at the double in the Serbian capital as David Gray's side thrived in the cauldron that is the Partizan Stadium, taking a 2-0 first leg lead back to Easter Road, where they will look to finish the job and book a spot in the Europa Conference League playoff round. After slamming the Hibees into a first half lead, Boyle hit the deck as he turned in the middle of the park with fans and teammates fearing the worst. The Hibs skipper has twice been sidelined for a significant period of time after injuring his knee ligaments. Thankfully this wasn't a third time, although he was heavily bandaged as he emerged in the bowels of Stadion Partizan. And he was lucky to escape a head injury whilst celebrating as the notorious Gravediggers let him know what they thought of his celebration. 'The knee's alright,' he said. "I had a bit of a scare. Slipped and hyperextended it. So hopefully it settles down well. 'I've got no time to dwell on it. We've got a game in a few days. I think that is your first thought. And then I knew when it was alright. 'I was just telling them to waste time a little bit. So yeah. Like you say, it's always a bit of a scare. 'These things can happen in a game. Touch wood, it doesn't happen again. And I'll be alright. 'But it's just precautionary at the moment. So yeah, I'm ready to go again. I'm ready to hopefully score more goals.' Boyle dispatched a second-half penalty to double the advantage and made a beeline for the 350 Hibs fans who had travelled to the Serbian capital - an altogether safer option than how he celebrated the opener. He said: 'It was better than the first one when I was getting vodka bottles off my head! But like you say, it was brilliant. 'I asked the ref at half-time if I could go over and celebrate in front of our fans, if I scored, after he told me not to celebrate in front of the home fans. So I already knew in my head that there could be another goal for me here. 'It's all down to big Kieron causing havoc in the box. That decision comes so there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to take it. Yeah, lovely feeling. 'It's great to celebrate with the fans. They can have that memory, hopefully something that lives with them for a long time. But that will mean us finishing the job off next week.' Far from being put off by the incessant noise from the home fans - who were loud from about 90 minutes before kick-off until they eventually left the ground - Boyle couldn't get enough of the infamous Grobari. 'Yeah, as a player it's just amazing,' he said. 'I mean, playing at an international level you get the feeling of that. 'Playing at Tynecastle, Ibrox. It's intimidating. I've played Jordan away with Australia. So I knew exactly what to expect. It can be quite intimidating. 'But there's a lot of people in the squad that haven't experienced that. And that's a great experience for them. Everyone rose to the occasion. It's perfect. 'It's the crowd you want to play in. Intimidating. It can only give you that buzz and keep you going.'

Britney wrote on Instagram: "It's actually incredibly funny. Some planes I've been on you can't smoke mostly, but this one was different because the drinkholders were on the outside of the seat. "Confession: It was my first time drinking VODKA!!! I swear I felt so SMART!!! [laughing emojis] I was like, 'Wow what the heck is in there.' I felt so clear and smart, and said, 'I want a cigarette so bad!!!' "My friend put it in my mouth and lit... it up for me so I was like OH SO THIS IS A PLANE WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE !!! I do so apologize to anyone I offended but the flight attendants always make sure I'm way at the back of plane anyways!!! (sic)" Britney subsequently complained about the behaviour of one particular flight attendant. The pop star - who was flying from Cabo San Lucas in Mexico to Los Angeles - described the flight attendant's conduct as "weird". Britney explained: "The flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette !!! And embarrass me which jeez I thought was kinda much but she didn't like me the moment I got on plane !!! "Nobody was on the plane for first 20 minutes and she wouldn't let me get out of my seat I wanted to stand up !!! She acted so weird about making sure I sat down and it was weird !!! I didn't like the way she put the seatbelt on me and invaded my space !!! (sic)" Meanwhile, Britney previously admitted that she burned off her eyebrows and eyelashes after attempting to turn on the fireplace in her bedroom. The pop singer shared via social media in 2024: "Six months ago something happened that was really, really dangerous. I was in my room and I turned the fire on and all of a sudden it blew up in my face."
