Born in bonnie Scotland on May the 23rd, 2006, Rudi Molotnikov is a burgeoning star in the footballing world, having already carved a niche for himself in the midfield with Hibernian at the tender age of 18. A figure of slim build, Molotnikov stands at 5ft 10in (1.79m) in height and weighs a slight 10st 5lb (66 kg). He proudly dons the number 35 jersey as he navigates the pitch with a keen eye for openings and set-ups.
Full-blooded in his commitment to the sport, Molotnikov kicked off his career with Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership in July 2021. His debut season in 2023-2024 saw him feature in three first team league matches, earning valuable experience and laying the groundwork for an accomplished career. The 2024-2025 season with Hibernian only further cemented Molotnikov's talent, as he made a remarkable 11 first-team appearances in league matches, signalling an exciting future ahead for the young player.
The year 2024 proved to be a whirlwind of activity for Molotnikov. Not resting on his laurels, the youngster was loaned out to Stirling Albion in Scotland's League Two in February. Upon completion of his loan tenure, Molotnikov returned to Hibernian in June, bringing with him invaluable skills and insight gained from his stint at Stirling Albion.
Molotnikov not only has a knack for finessing his way through league matches, but has also made a mark in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for Hibernian. His sterling performance saw him net an impressive two goals in four starts, as well as a substitute appearance. Molotnikov extended his scoring spree to the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 as well, where he beautifully put away a goal in just one start. These feats only indicate a promising career ahead for this dedicated footballer.
