The club can be classified as part of the “second tier” of Scottish football. Their last, fourth championship was secured back in 1952, yet they occasionally make their presence felt in the cup. Moreover, in the Premier League, “Hibs” often maintain a relatively high position. In the previous season, the team finished 5th, which was just the position from which representatives of the country qualified for European competitions. Of course, it was the Conference League, which they had to start in July. There, an unexpected event occurred: the British managed to lose to “Inter Escaldes” in Andorra with a score of 1-2. However, they made up for it at home, winning 6-1. And then, an unexpected turn of events with a plus sign: they passed “Lucerne,” the former Swiss champion. Moreover, everything was settled in their hometown of Edinburgh, with a final score of 3-1. After that, a 2-2 away was enough for an overall success.
Since last autumn, the team has been under the leadership of Unai Emery. Ironically, the Spaniard left Villarreal, where he finished 7th in La Liga 2021/2023, only to end up in the same position with his new team. However, while this was quite mediocre for “The Yellow Submarine,” in Birmingham, this result under a new manager was considered significant progress. The belief that there would be continuation allowed them to attract not only Pau Torres, who obviously came to his “own” coach, but also Dzeko and Diaby. However, the Premier League began with a cold shower in the form of a 1-5 loss to “Newcastle.” It’s unclear what the motivation of both the English team and Emery himself will be in the youngest and lowest-rated of the European competitions.
