Hibernian, known fondly by their supporters as the Hibees, hold a firm place in the chronicles of Scottish football. Formed in the year 1875, this stalwart institution has nestled itself in the beating heart of Leith, with their matches played out on the historic turf of Easter Road Stadium.
According to Transfermarkt, the financial worth of the Hibees' playing squad measures approximately £16m, a respectable tally in the Scottish game. As to be expected from a club of this stature, a plethora of talent is ready and waiting in the wings, with 28 players standing poised, ready to don the famous green and white stripes.
The youthful vigour within the ranks is noticeable - a tight-knit group with the mean age clocking in at a sprightly 26 years. The benefits of this youthfulness, one would presume, is a certain energetic dynamism; a hunger, combined with a fearless approach to the challenges ahead.
Over the course of the current season, Hibernian showcased their footballing prowess in five separate competitions. This journey saw them reach 5th place in the Scottish premiership - the main avenue of focus. Impressively, the Hibees reached the Quarter-Finals of the League Cup, and the Fourth Round of the Scottish Cup. On the European stage, the team made it as far as the Second Round of the Europa League Qualifiers, and to the Play Off Round of the Conference League Qualifiers. An admirable journey, ripe with hard-fought battles attesting to the sheer grit and tenacity of this proud Leith side.
