    David Gray's side sit third in the Scottish Premiership

    If ever there is a chance for Hibernian to challenge the Old Firm at the top of the table, "this would be the year", suggests former Easter Road midfielder Scott Allan.

    City rivals Hearts are level on points with Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership, while the reigning champions and Rangers have had their critics after failing to qualify for the Champions League.

    "Hibs and Hearts are in for third place, but I think maybe both might have other ideas," Allan told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.

    "It just depends, over the course of a season, who manages to stay the course and the same for Rangers and Celtic as well - both going through a time just now where there's a lot of pressure from outside.

    "So, if there's ever a chance to maybe go and have a run at it, this would be the year."

    Hibs sit unbeaten in third, five points behind the leaders but with a game in hand, and Allan pointed out how well David Gray's side had also played against Midtjylland, Partizan Belgrade and Legia Warsaw in European qualifying.

    "They're in a really good place in terms of the calibre of teams they had to play in Europe, to go over there and really compete against them," he said.

    "That's built a change in them, they look to have each other's back, the quality they have coming off the bench at times.

    "In terms of performances sandwiched between the European ties, David Gray will be happy enough.

    "That would be the basic thing, the performances there and having cover in certain positions."

    Grant Hanley has yet to start for Hibs, but the centre-half who signed after leaving Birmingham City this summer impressed for Scotland during the international break.

    "Grant Hanley was outstanding for the national team against Denmark, but he hasn't even been in the starting team for Hibernian because of how good Rocky Bushiri's been," Allan added.

    "So they have cover now and I think that was the biggest thing for Hibs this window. Could they get guys in who can add to the team and they most certainly have done that for me."

  4. Hibs' strengthened squad looks ready for real progresspublished at 14:24 BST 10 September

    With a gallant but disappointing end to Hibernian's run in Europe the full focus now is on pushing upwards in the Premiership to give themselves another chance next season for adventures abroad.

    Many of the performances, particularly away in Europe, have been excellent but surprisingly it's the record at Easter Road coming under scrutiny.

    The club's two home Premiership matches this season have brought just two points. You do have to take into account that both these fixtures came after gruelling away matches in Europe.

    The Hibs squad now, though, boasts depth all around the pitch and looks ready to make real progress.

    At the back the signing of Grant Hanley has offered competition for the likes of Jack Iredale and Warren O'Hora, with Rocky Bushiri looking as solid as ever.

    No one knew too much about Miguel Chaiwa before this season, but in his short time at the club the 21-year-old Zambia midfielder has already shown he not only has an eye for goal but is also very strong in the tackle.

    With the recent addition of experienced Middlesbrough midfielder Daniel Barlaser that area of the pitch is now well catered for.

    Then you look at the attacking areas. Kieron Bowie, Martin Boyle, Junior Hoilett and Jamie McGrath along with record signing Thibault Klidje all know their way to goal and bring excitement to the team.

    I've not even mentioned the Cadden twins and their excellent deliveries into the box.

    Now the challenge is to chalk up a first home win of the campaign when Dundee United come calling this weekend in good fettle after a derby triumph last time out.

    Hibs have won the past two meetings 3-1 but in both matches the result was in doubt until the dying moments.

    Watch - Cornelius screamer stuns Wales

    New Rangers defender Derek Cornelius scored a free-kick winner and Hibernian winger Junior Hoilett featured as Canada defeated Wales in Tuesday's international friendly.

    Cornelius, who has joined Rangers on loan from Marseille, struck the only goal of the match in the 41st minute.

    Hoilett played the final 25 minutes as a substitute in Swansea.

    Twenty-seven year-old Cornelius moves on to 37 caps, with Hoilett, 35, making his 67th senior international appearance.

    Both players had featured in Friday's 3-0 friendly win in Romania, with veteran Hoilett again coming off the bench.

    Cornelius could make his Rangers debut at home to Hearts on Saturday (15:00 BST), with Hoilett's Hibs hosting Dundee United later in the day (17:45).

  6. Scotland standout Hanley gives Gray food for thoughtpublished at 11:45 BST 9 September

    Hibernian fan's voice

    International week is always a contentious time, with Steve Clarke certain to upset somebody with his Scotland team selection.

    As has been the case over recent years, a target for criticism this time was Grant Hanley.

    The Hibs player and Scotland Hall of Famer suffers from the old adage 'familiarity breeds contempt' and folk are quick to question his inclusion in the national team.

    Hanley, for his part, took the opportunity to show exactly why he was picked with an outstanding performance against Denmark.

    The big centre-half strolled the game and played a huge part in Scotland's clean sheet. His performance will have given David Gray food for thought on how to start him in games for Hibs without upsetting a decent looking backline.

    Scotland failed to score against Denmark, and I can't be the only Hibee wondering why Kieron Bowie didn't feature in Copenhagen or in the 2-0 victory over Belarus.

    The young striker has been outstanding for Hibs and offers a goal threat that the current incumbents don't possess.

    Bowie will lead Hibs' hopes this weekend as domestic action resumes with the visit of Dundee United. It's another tough test for Gray's side, but one we can take three points from.

    We were deprived of a further two points (on the assumption we'd have scored the penalty) after being denied a late spot-kick last time out against St Mirren, a decision now deemed incorrect by the SFA's key match incidents panel.

    Hopefully the players feel frustrated about that and take it out on United, where I hope to see the game decided on what the players, rather than the officials, do.

  7. KMI panel rules Hibs wrongly denied penalty against St Mirrenpublished at 17:36 BST 8 September

    Hibs should have been awarded a penalty in last month's Premiership draw against St Mirren, the Scottish FA's key match incident panel have said.

    The Easter Road side thought they were about to be awarded a spot-kick for handball in the closing stages of the match after Thibault Klidje's shot struck Jayden Richardson's arm, but referee Matthew MacDermid was told there was no foul play by the VAR.

    "VAR has been brought in to improve the game, and today I don't think it's helped," head coach David Gray said after the incident.

    Now, the three members of the SFA's panel - which reviews all major incidents from the Scottish Premiership - have unanimously ruled that the wrong decision was made.

    "The panel unanimously agreed that the on-field decision was incorrect," the verdict said.

    "The panel highlighted VAR was incorrect not to intervene to recommend an [on-field review] and a penalty should have been awarded for handball."

    Daniel Barlaser says his loan switch to Hibs came totally out of the blue.

    The Middlesbrough midfielder was Hibs' final signing of the summer transfer window and he says the club's success last season encouraged him to move north of the border.

    "I was playing golf and my agent texted me saying that Hibs were interested, and I just gave them the go-ahead to proceed," Barlaser said.

    "Thankfully, we got the deal done 10 minutes before the deadline, so it was quite stressful, but I am delighted to be here.

    "This will be my first taste of Scottish football, and I really wanted to do it here at Hibs – that was a big pull for me. I saw how well the club did last season, achieving European football and I have seen videos of the fans, so I just thought it was a great club to come to."

    The former Newcastle and Rotherham player revealed that current and former Hibees endorsed the move.

    "I played with Grant Hanley previously at Newcastle, and Dwight Gayle was there too," Barlaser said.

    "He actually texted me saying how much I would enjoy it and what a great club it was."

  10. Mackay 'delighted' with Hibs' transfer business but not ruling out new arrivalspublished at 13:23 BST 6 September

    Malky MackayImage source, SNS

    Hibernian sporting director Malky Mackay insists the club are in a good place after the summer transfer window but didn't rule out dipping into the free transfer market.

    The Edinburgh club signed six new players this summer while also securing new deals for important players such as Rocky Bushiri and Junior Hoilett.

    And Mackay was thrilled to keep together the core group of players that secured a third place finish in the top flight last term.

    "Going into the new season with the group that finished third mostly still here is terrific for the club," the sporting director told HibsTV, external.

    "I think it's very important for the manager, for the club, for the continuity, the fact that group all came back in here on day one of pre-season, they've had really good success together and understanding how to win.

    "Any manager will tell you if you can manage to keep a good group together for a period of time then really good things can happen. I was delighted to get the core of that group back in here on day one of pre-season."

    Mackay also shed some light on the Hibs' pursuit of Scotland international Lyndon Dykes.

    "We had conversations with Lyndon and Birmingham and we didn't manage to get there in the end," he added.

    "So we move on from that. We have a good squad, I'm delighted with the squad we've got for the first half of the season. We have a leaner squad but a much stronger squad."

    Even though the transfer window has closed, there's still an opportunity for deals to be done for out of contract players and Mackay suggested Hibs are still open to new arrivals.

    "We will look at that to see if there's anyone we feel could add to our group," he said.

    "I need a high bar to come into this football club and play for this football team so we'll see if anyone manages to attain that.

    "To get anywhere near a first team jersey at this football club you have to be at that level."

    Hibernian have announced the loan signing of Zach Mitchell from Charlton Athletic for the duration of the 2025-26 season.

    Mitchell, 20, has previously had loan spells with Colchester United and St Johnstone.

    "We're delighted to bring Zach into the building," Gray said.

    "Zach is a player that caught my eye during his brief spell at St Johnstone last season. He is a young defender with some great attributes and will add extra versatility, strength and depth to our back line.

    "He is a young defender who is comfortable on the ball and has a good physical presence. We're all looking forward to working with him."

  13. Does 'big disappointment' of missing Dykes leave Hibs short up front?published at 12:53 BST 3 September

    your views graphic

    We asked for your views on Hibernian's business in the summer transfer window.

    Here's what some of you said:

    Craig: I am deeply disappointed the club was unable to secure the loan signing of Lyndon Dykes. He was an ideal fit for the position we urgently needed to fill following Mykola Kukharevych's departure. The delay in opening negotiations and leaving matters until late on Monday evening significantly reduced the likelihood of a successful outcome. This was a missed opportunity that should have been handled with far greater urgency.

    George: Looks good but, as always, players have to step up and perform, both in training and when selected. As we remember well, it hasn't always turned out that way. Those who have been selected so far, look the business, so hopes for a successful season are high. Is second do-able? We need to start putting away chances for that hope to solidify.

    Kenny: I would like to think so but I would have preferred a centre forward. We have been lacking in this position for a while now. Kieron Bowie is an inside man and would flourish playing off a good centre. We create lots of chances but don't put them away. There are plenty of players out there we could have had on loan.

    Mark: The Scottish and home-based signings, the type of signings we should be making, seem to have settled in well. Missing out on Dykes is a big disappointment, as I think he would have given us an extra edge that we need. It's weird that we can't get a loan like that over the line, yet once again we seem willing to throw lots of money at signings from abroad who are much less likely to settle in and do well for us.

    Albert: Overall, it has been a great transfer window for Hibs. Not getting Nectar Triantis back seemed a big blow at the time but after the first few showings of Miguel Chaiwa those feelings have subsided. Good experience signed in Grant Hanley at the back and Josh Mulligan looks equally as useful at right wing-back as he does in the middle of the park. Jamie McGrath has also looked good and the more I see of Thibault Klidje, the more I like. Getting Dykes would have made it a 10 out of 10 window but nine out of 10 is still good.

    Michael: Every player we have brought in will be a quality addition to the squad, I just wish there was more of them. I still think the squad is quite thin in terms of numbers and cover. We haven't relaxed Lewis Miller and disappointed not to get the Dykes deal over the line.

  14. Great window overall despite Dykes failurepublished at 17:46 BST 2 September

    Hibernian fan's voice

    Hibs' transfer deadline day was dominated by the ultimately futile pursuit of Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes.

    It was reported the player was keen on the move, but Hibs couldn't agree the terms of the loan with Birmingham.

    As with the last summer transfer window, where Hibs pushed to sign Luke McCowan only to lose out on the midfielder to Celtic with no time to source a replacement, the club's unwillingness to meet Birmingham's demands - which you have to assume changed late in the process - means David Gray exits the transfer window without the extra striker he wanted.

    It would be hard to believe, though, that Hibs aren't working on options that didn't need rushed through last night.

    Hibs have been pretty good about going about their business recently, and we did make one last-minute addition as midfielder Dan Barlaser joined on loan from Middlesbrough, so I think they've earned the benefit of the doubt that they did the right thing last night.

    We've had a great window overall. Re-signing Rocky Bushiri was massive and real quality was added in Josh Mulligan, Jamie McGrath and Miguel Chiawa – not to mention breaking our transfer record on Thibault Klidje.

    Like every manager, Gray will have wanted another couple in but I think he'll be happy with what he has to work with.

    And with Europe now out the way after a magnificent effort in Poland last week, Sir David can now focus on repeating last season's successful league campaign.

    On that note, Gray needs VAR to work as it should as much as he needs the right players. The decision to deny Hibs a late penalty on Sunday for what looked an obvious handball had punters and pundits alike scratching their heads.

    Surely we can finally have a season where VAR isn't taking centre stage?

    Hibernian have signed Middlesbrough Daniel Barlaser on a season-long loan deal, with head coach David Gray confident the 28-year-old will bring "calm" to his midfield.

    Barlaser has extensive experience in English football, playing over 250 games, predominantly with Boro and Rotherham United.

    He is the seventh summer arrival at Easter Road, following record signing Thibault Klidje, Miguel Chaiwa, Raphael Sallinger, Jamie McGrath, Josh Mulligan and Grant Hanley.

    "We're delighted to add someone of Daniel's experience to the middle of our midfield," Gray said.

    "We wanted to add another versatile midfielder to the squad, and Daniel has proved that he is capable of playing that role at a very high, competitive level.

    "He has good positional awareness, reads the game well, and is calm in possession of the ball. We are looking forward to working with him for the rest of the season."

  16. Was Hibs' transfer window a success?published at 11:31 BST 2 September

    Have your say

    There were no new arrivals at Hibs on deadline day as a move for Scotland and Birmingham City striker Lyndon Dykes collapsed.

    Middlesbrough midfielder Daniel Barlaser could still join on loan - with the paperwork reportedly completed before the deadline last night - while Elie Youan remains at Easter Road despite interest from European clubs in the striker who has less than a year left on his contract.

    Hibs have added six players this summer, record signing Thibault Klidje among them, with Lewis Miller and Marvin Ekpiteta among the departures.

    So with the window now closed, are you pleased with the club's transfer business? Does it leave the squad in good shape for the season ahead - or is David Gray light in certain positions?

    Hibernian are still hoping a deal can be struck with Birmingham City for striker Lyndon Dykes however there is also interest from Aberdeen and at least two English Championship clubs in the Scotland striker.

    Dykes is part of Steve Clarke's squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers away to Denmark and Belarus.

    One player who now looks destined to remain at Hibs after the window closes this evening is Elie Youan.

    The winger was left out of the matchday squad against St Mirren on Sunday with a deal to Hibs' European conquerors Legia Warsaw almost concluded.

    However the deal collapsed earlier today and as things stand he will remain at Easter Road with a year left on his contract.

    We asked for your thoughts after Hibs drew 1-1 with St Mirren in the Premiership.

    Here's what some of you had to say:

    Dougie: Take that result against a big organised team, especially after Thursday night. How that's not a penalty I'll never know, he literally parried the ball away with his hands - the VAR situation has to get sorted, it's far too inconsistent.

    Darren: Why can't we get decisions right? That was a clear penalty. The people making those decisions need to be held to account.

    Bobby: It's a simple game but we overthink it. Just play our strongest team in every game. No need to rest players on Saturday with the break coming up, two points needlessly lost again.

    Kenny: After the game on Thursday this one was always going to be difficult. St Mirren are a good team and any kind of result was good. After we lost the goal we came right back and scored which shows the grit in the team. The international break has come at the right time. Watch out for a fitter quicker Hibs team.
