Hailing from the heart of Leith in Edinburgh, Hibernian Football Club, affectionately known as the 'Hibs', was established in 1875. With a history spanning well over a century, they reside at the iconic Easter Road Stadium — a venue renowned throughout Scottish football for its charm and character.
According to statistics gleaned from Transfermarkt, the combined market value of the current Hibernian playing squad amounts to the vicinity of £16m. Quite an investment for a club its size, reflecting their commitment to compete at the highest level.
The Hibees, as they're also known, boast a squad of 27 players, all varying in age, talent, and experience, yet maintaining an average age of 27. This blend of youth and experience, agility, and wisdom allows the club a flexibility appreciated by both the coaching staff and their devout supporters.
This season, Hibernian's competitive spirit has seen them involved in five various competitions — the Premiership, where they currently sit in 5th place; the League Cup, which saw them reach the Quarter-Finals; the Scottish Cup, where they managed to progress to the Fourth Round; and both the Europa League Qualifiers and Conference League Qualifiers, reaching the Second Round and Play Off Round respectively. It may not be a flawless season, but it's one that shows the grit and determination of the green-and-white side of Edinburgh.
