Link an iOS 5 and an iOS 8 device in Clash of Clans

I have been playing on an iOS 8 device and I got another iOS 5 device (iPad first generation). I have been backing up the game on the iOS 8 device using Game Center. I tried to restore that game to the new (iOS 5 device) but it won't work, it gives me this error:

"Switching to this account is not supported below iOS version 7. To switch to this account please update your iOS version."

It seems SuperCell isn't supporting transfer of games started on iOS after 7 to devices under 7:

Then I tried linking using Facebook but that didn't work either. It's just offering to replace the Facebook backup with with the village that currently on the device. It never offers to restore from Facebook. Is there a way to do that?

Is there a way to link accounts on iOS 8 and iOS 5 devices?

Due to technical reasons beyond our control, in the next update to Clash of Clans (date TBD), we are unfortunately forced to end support for all Apple devices running on iOS versions lower than iOS 9.

Does Clash of Clans support iOS 9?

This means that a Clash of Clans player can have their village and game progress on both an Android device and an iOS device at the very same time.
