Hibernian remain one of Scotland’s established clubs, founded in 1875 and long rooted at Easter Road Stadium. Their honours record here is lean but not empty: one Scottish Cup and one League Cup, enough to mark the club’s place in the domestic story without overstating the present.
The current squad is valued at around £17m by Transfermarkt, with 27 players and an average age of 26. Martin Boyle and Owen Elding lead the scoring with four goals each, while Nathan Lowe, Adam Mayor and Felix Passlack have each contributed two.
This season has been awkward. Hibs sit twelfth in the Premiership with seven points after nine rounds, and their recent league run reads poorly: defeats to Falkirk, Dundee United, Kilmarnock, St Johnstone and Hearts, with a 1-1 draw against Aberdeen in between. They have also been involved in the League Cup semi-finals and reached the play-off round in Conference League qualifying.
At Easter Road, the numbers are plain enough: an average of 0.8 goals scored and 1.8 conceded per match. Away from home they have been more balanced, scoring and conceding 1.3 per game. For Celtic supporters, Hibernian are a familiar Premiership opponent with enough quality to matter, but their current standing is that of a side trying to arrest a poor run.
📈 Key stats and insights
⚔️ How they compare to Celtic
Against Celtic the gaps are stark: Celtic enjoy a dramatically higher attack and a far tighter defence, scoring more than twice as freely and conceding a fraction of what Hibernian do, while Celtic lead the table on 24 points and Hibernian sit twelfth — Celtic have the clear edge home and away, and Hibernian’s main hope is to exploit set-piece moments and away grit rather than outscoring the champions in open play.
