Hibernian, founded in Edinburgh in 1875, are one of Scottish football’s enduring clubs. Known as Hibs or the Hibees, the club carries strong Irish roots and represents Leith from its long-standing home at Easter Road. The page brings together the latest recorded first-team picture, David Gray’s coaching timeline, recent squad movement and competition involvement. Its wider profile connects historic European importance with the culture, colours and traditions that continue to shape this distinctive Edinburgh institution.
The latest recorded Hibernian squad contains 29 players. Its structure comprises 11 midfielders, nine defenders, six attackers and three goalkeepers, giving the group a midfield-heavy balance. M. Boyle, N. Lowe, O. Elding and T. Klidje provide attacking options. G. Hanley, J. Obita, R. Bushiri and Joseph McGrath are among the defenders. J. Newell, N. Cadden, C. Wright and M. Chaiwa add midfield depth while A. Šuto and A. Mayor complete the named attacker group. The goalkeeping unit comprises F. Owens, J. Smith and R. Sallinger.
David Gray is the most recent recorded Hibernian appointment and is listed as the current coach. The Scottish coach began his latest uninterrupted spell on 1 May 2024, following an earlier Hibernian period from August to September 2023. Nicholas Montgomery, also Scottish, led the side from September 2023 until May 2024. The preceding timeline records Lee Johnson from May 2022 to August 2023 and Shaun Maloney from December 2021 to April 2022. The sequence places Gray at the head of the current coaching record, with the earlier appointments providing concise recent context.

Hibernian’s recorded movement reflects several kinds of squad change rather than one single pathway. Arrivals include permanent transfers such as A. Mayor, A. Abdulai, F. Passlack, A. Šuto and O. Elding, alongside loans, free-agent additions and returns from loan. Departures include transfers for C. Cadden, J. Hoilett, D. Levitt, K. Bowie and J. Fairley, plus loans, free-agent exits and returns to parent clubs. The same cycle appears in individual cases: T. Klidje, M. Johnson, Joseph McGrath, D. Clelland and L. Gillie are recorded in return or loan movements across the period. The record therefore shows both incoming recruitment and temporary player circulation, with the listed entries covering October 2025 to July 2026. It is a selected account of recent activity, not a complete net-movement or season total.
Hibernian’s recorded competition history spans league, cup and friendly football. The Premiership is recorded from 2010 through 2025, while the League Cup appears from 2017 through 2025. Recent participation records through 2025 also cover the FA Cup, Friendlies Clubs, UEFA Europa Conference League and UEFA Europa League. Together, these entries outline the club’s recent domestic and continental context, although they do not establish participation in the 2026 season. The Championship entry, covering 2014 to 2016, is historical, as is the SWF Scottish Cup entry recorded in 2023.
Hibernian Football Club, commonly known as Hibs or the Hibees, was founded in Edinburgh in 1875. Its origins lie in the city’s Irish immigrant community, a heritage that remains central to the club’s identity and distinguishes its place in Scottish football. The club’s home is Easter Road in Leith, where Hibernian have played since 1893. The ground is closely associated with the supporters’ descriptions “The Holy Ground” and “the Leith San Siro”, reflecting both its emotional importance and its distinctive urban setting.
Hibernian’s visual language is built around emerald green and white. The traditional home design, with a green body, white sleeves and white details, is among the most recognisable styles in Scottish football. The crest brings together an Irish harp, a ship linked to Leith’s port and a castle representing Edinburgh. The anthem “Sunshine on Leith” adds another strong cultural marker, connecting football with the wider life of the neighbourhood.
The club’s history includes a pioneering European dimension. Hibernian were the first British club to compete in the inaugural European Cup in 1955–56, helping establish a continental reputation that has continued through later European campaigns. Their football ecosystem also includes domestic league and cup competition, a senior squad supported by a youth academy and a sporting structure built around coaching and sporting leadership.
Ownership has formed an important part of the modern story. After the long stewardship of Sir Tom Farmer, the club was acquired in 2019 by Bydand Sports LLC under Ron Gordon. The Gordon family and the club’s sporting and executive leadership have since been associated with its governance. Through its Leith home, Irish-Edinburgh heritage, enduring colours and European history, Hibernian remains a distinctive institution in Scotland’s football landscape.
