Cast your eyes to the east of Edinburgh and you're likely to find yourself at Easter Road Stadium, the much-treasured home ground of Hibernian. Since the club's founding stones were laid in 1875, generations of devoted supporters have passed through its gates to cheer on the green and white-clad heroes.
The collective value of the squad boasts an impressive sum of approximately £17 million. This has been astutely noted by our friends over at Transfermarkt. Though some may gawk, it's a figure that demonstrates the quality of talent sitting in the Hibs’ dressing room.
The club currently has a roster of 27 players. They are a mostly young crop, with an average age of 26, brimming with vigour and the promise of things to come. Five competitions have already felt the impact of their boots this season. The Premiership has seen them lift themselves into a respectable 5th place slot. They battled their way through to the Quarter-Finals of the League Cup, whilst the Scottish Cup saw them reach as far as the Fourth Round.
Internationally, they made strides in both the Europa League Qualifiers, pushing as far as the Second Round, and the Conference League Qualifiers, reaching the Play Off Round. Such endeavours are not to be sniffed at. For the stands of Easter Road to be echoing with the songs and chants of European football is a testament to the toil of the team and the Hibernian Football Club as a whole.
