In the austerity of the Scottish football scene, with its unending narratives of strife and splendour, the Hibernian F.C. sits with a history rich and proud. A birthchild of 1875, 'Hibs' as the fans fondly whisper, have called the Easter Road Stadium their ground since inception.
Honouring the pitch with a squad of 28 pantheon of players, donning the green and white with a median age of 26, Hibernian has a total market value standing right about £17m, as per Transfermarkt's evaluation. By no means a petty amount in these parts of the world.
They have proved their mettle in a number of competitions this season. Standing at the 5th position in the Premiership, they have shown their vigour throughout the league. Their run until the Quarter-Finals of the League Cup was a testament to their capabilities, too. Yet, their fight didn't stop there. They battled till the Fourth Round in the Scottish Cup and the Second Round in Europa League Qualifiers, further showcasing their ambitions. Most recently, they made the considerable achievement of reaching the Play Off Round in the Conference League Qualifiers. A club to watch, indeed.
