The worst Hibs team in history?

Several Hibs players look perplexed during the 7-0 home defeat to Malmo in Europe

Following Hibernian’s miserable start to the 2013/14 season, it’s fair to say things are not all rosy at Easter Road Stadium right now. An embarrassing 9-0 aggregate defeat to Swedish side Malmo in UEFA’s Europa League qualifiers kicked off the campaign and part of that double header saw Hibs lose the home leg 7-0 in Edinburgh. Arguably the team’s worst result in its proud history.

Roles reversal in Edinburgh

Back on Saturday May 19, the two Edinburgh powerhouses of Scottish football descended upon Hampden Park, Glasgow for the Scottish Cup Final. As the referee blew his whistle that day, Heart of Midlothian went on to provide the capacity crowd with a staggering display of attacking football to put lifeless Hibernian to the sword and defeat their rivals by five goals to one. The finish of that game brought the curtain down to end another distinct,  dramatic season of football in Scotland and rubber stamp Hearts’ domination of the Edinburgh derby for the past 10 months.
