So after my save for my first Hibs story decided to crash and fail to load, I've waited till the 15.3.0 update to start a new story. I'm using a up-to-date Sortitout transfer update, as well as a custom database that basically has filled in blanks since the Sortitoutsi update is dated March 1st, i.e. Stuart McCall is Rangers manager & Andrew Driver is an Aberdeen player
HIBERNIAN F.C.
View attachment 292506
Since their founding in 1875 Hibernian have been considered one of the biggest clubs in Scottish football. However despite their size they have won reletively little in terms of trophies, especially when compared to rivals Hearts & clubs like Aberdeen. Overall they rank 6th in terms of trophies won.
Life has not always been peachy for the men from Leith, they have been relegated multiple times and hold one of the worst derby records in world football. The Edinburgh derby, which they contest with Hearts, has seen the Jambos chalk up 143 wins to Hibs 89 wins in 324 competitive matches. Overall in 632 games Hearts have won 280 whilst Hibs have won 201.
They do however boast two of the biggest derby results, winning 0-7 at Tynecastle on New Years day in 1973, and 6-2 at Easter Road in October 2000. However, recently the biggest victory belongs to Hearts after they won 5-1 in the 2012 Scottish Cup Final
The Scottish Cup, another hoodoo for Hibs. A competition they have not won since way back in 1902, a fact most teams, especially Hearts, take great pride in reminding them of. Hibs have had better success in the Scottish League Cup, winning it a total of 3 times with the last one being in 2007.
For a few years Hibs have been suffering from a decline, from a team that was scrapping it out for a European spot, they recently became a team fighting to stay in the top division, this all culminated when they were relegated to the Scottish Championship after losing 4-3 on penalties to Hamilton Academical in the relegation/promotion playoff. The game itself ended 2-2, however Hibs did hold a 2-0 lead from the first leg.
And now it's time for them to rebuild and claw their way back to the Scottish Premiership, can they do it? And if so, can they go further?
Sir Tom Farmer

Kwik-Fit founder Farmer took control of Hibs in the early 1990s after the then-financially struggling Hibs were under threat of a takeover from Wallace Mercer, who was the owner of Hearts at the time. Despite this Farmer has admitted he's not a football fan and is rarely seen at Easter Road on match day. He handed over control of Hibs to our next important person
Rod Petrie
View attachment 292496
After multiple roles within the boardroom Petrie was appointed Hibs Chairman in December 2004. Since then he has not had the best of relationships with the fans. After the clubs relegation to the Scottish Championship many called for Petrie to step down. However he remains on as Hibs chairman, however like Farmer he has handed over day-to-day running of the club to our next person
Leeann Dempster
Leeann was recruited by Hibernian in April 2014 from Motherwell, however she would not take over until after the end of the 2013/14 season, during which the club was relegated. Now she faces the challenge of appointing a new manager and getting the club back on it's feet.
