Born on the 23rd of May 2006 in Scotland, Rudi Molotnikov is a promising midfielder, primarily found orchestrating attacks from the centre of the park. Currently plying his trade for Hibernian, where he dons the number 35 jersey, Molotnikov has been making waves in Scottish football with his creativity and skill. Statistically speaking, Molotnikov stands at 5 feet 10 inches tall (about 1.79 metres) and sports a lean physique, weighing just over 10 stone 5 pounds (approx. 66 kilogrammes).
Molotnikov's professional career took off in July 2021 when he joined Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership. The debut season of 2023 to 2024 saw him make a total of three first team appearances in league matches. The following season, Molotnikov increased his tally, featuring 11 times for Hibernian in Premiership matches. However, the current season of 2025 to 2026 has yet to see Molotnikov grace the pitch for a league match.
In an interesting turn of events, Molotnikov transferred on loan to Stirling Albion in League Two in February 2024. However, his stint with Stirling Albion was relatively short-lived, as he made his return to Hibernian in the Premiership in June 2024. Since his return, Molotnikov has continued to contribute to Hibernian's league campaign, with appearances tallying up to his aforementioned counts.
Molotnikov's potential hasn't been solely confined to the league matches. He also made his mark in the League Cup of 2025 to 2026, coming on once as a substitute. Notably, it was in the Scottish Cup of 2024 to 2025 that Molotnikov made an even bigger impact, scoring a goal in his single start for the tournament.
The world of Scottish football continues to watch the progress of Rudi Molotnikov with keen interest, as this midfielder gradually develops into a formidable player capable of making a significant impact on the match whenever he steps onto the field.
