Hibernian, often dubbed as the pride of Leith, was birthed in the year 1875 and has ever since been etching its legacy in the sands of time. Enshrined within Scotland, their fortress of Easter Road Stadium serves as the battleground where many a footballing duel is fought.
The Hibernians operate on the economic landscape of football with a comparative modesty. The collective value of the players donning the green and white, as estimated by Transfermarkt, hovers around the £17m mark, a figure dwarfed by the heavyweights of the game.
A squad of 28 players forms the backbone of Hibs with the criteria for selection seemingly favouring youth. The median age of the emerald warriors is a sprightly 26, a statistic suggestive of a balance struck between fledgling talents and experienced stalwarts.
Upon the turn of the previous season, the Hibees thrust themselves into the thick of five distinct football competitions. The most prestigious of these, the Premiership, saw them finish in a respectable 5th position. Their quest for silverware in the League Cup was cut short in the Quarter-Finals, while their journey in the Scottish Cup reached its terminus in the Fourth Round. Their aspirations to stamp their footprint on the European stage were also borne out, albeit without much success, with their participation in the Europa League Qualifiers ending in the Second Round and the Conference League Qualifiers culminating in the Play Off Round.
