Hibernian remain one of Scottish football’s familiar institutions: founded in 1875, based at Easter Road Stadium, and carrying a history that includes a Scottish Cup and a League Cup. Their current squad is valued at around £17m by Transfermarkt, with 26 players and an average age of 26.
The 2026-27 Premiership campaign has opened unevenly. Hibs sit ninth with six points after six rounds, and recent league form has tilted the wrong way: defeats to Kilmarnock, St Johnstone and Hearts followed earlier wins away to Dundee and Rangers.
There is a clear split in their numbers. At Easter Road, they have averaged just 0.7 goals scored and two conceded per match, which points to a side still looking for control at home. Away from home, they have carried more threat, scoring 1.7 per match and showing enough pace in attack to trouble sides who leave space.
Martin Boyle and Owen Elding lead their scoring with three goals each, with Nathan Lowe, Adam Mayor and Felix Passlack also contributing. Hibs have also started sharply often enough, scoring the first goal inside 20 minutes in six of 14 league matches.
They have already been involved beyond the league, reaching the League Cup semi-finals and the Conference League qualifying play-off round. For Celtic supporters, Hibernian are a known Premiership opponent with enough attacking edge to punish slackness, but their current position reflects a side still searching for consistency.
