Hibernian Edinburgh (officially: Hibernian Football Club , also: The Hibs , Hi-bees - read: "High-bees") is a Scottish football club from Edinburgh that will play in the first-class Scottish Premiership in the 2018/19 season .
Club colors
The official colors are emerald green and white. The shirt is traditionally green with white sleeves, a white collar and green cuffs on long sleeves. The pants are white and the socks are green with white cuffs.
Hibernian first wore the white jersey sleeves on August 13, 1938 against Hamilton Academical . The home stadium Easter Road was subjected to a major renovation in advance. The Celtic harp and the shamrocks at the entrance gate have been repainted. The grandstand, the wall around the lawn and the standing area were all painted white. The angular goal posts were replaced by oval ones and the goals covered with green nets. On the day of the match, the stadium announcer announced a “brighter Easter Road” over the new loudspeakers before the Hibs appeared in their new jerseys.
history
founding
The club was founded in August 1875 by members of Saint Patrick's Catholic Church as Hibernians Football Club . Among them were the Canon Edward Joseph Hannan and the chairman of the Catholic Young Men's Association, Michael Whelahan, who also became the first captain in the club's history. It was founded in Saint Mary's Street Hall, which still exists today.
The club was the first major club in Scotland for members of the Irish Catholic population. The club name Hibernia is the Latin name for Ireland and thus reflects its roots, which go back to Irish emigrants. The club served as a role model for Dundee Hibernian - today's Dundee United - and Celtic FC , who almost called themselves Glasgow Hibernian when they were founded .
"World Champion"
On August 13, 1887, Hibernian defeated the English team Preston North End in a game that was played by the two associations The Football Association and Scottish Football Association between the respective cup winners as the Association Football Championship of the World . From now on, Hibernian could call himself world champion.
post war period
The post-war period was the Hibs ' most successful period , winning three championships and becoming famous for their attacking football. The series of attacks at the time was known as the "Famous Five" and included Gordon Smith , Bobby Johnstone , Lawrie Reilly , Eddie Turnbull and Willie Ormond . During this time, the club was one of the first Scottish clubs to tour South America to play friendly matches.
First British club in the European Cup
The Hibs were the first British club to play in a European competition. The first game in the 1955/56 European Cup was played by the German representative Rot-Weiss Essen , which Hibernian won 4-0. The second leg in Scotland ended 1-1. Hibernian eventually made it to the semi-finals and was only beaten there by Stade de Reims , led by Raymond Kopa . The invitation to this first edition of the UEFA European Cup, although only 5th place was achieved in the 1955 championship, was made possible by the floodlight system for evening games, which was mandatory at the time and which had only been installed in the stadium a year earlier. The invitations to this first European Cup took place regardless of the placement in the leagues. Since the English champions FC Chelsea did not want to participate, the Hibs became the first British team in a European cup competition.
The Hibs played sixteen more times in the European Cup and won, among others, at FC Barcelona and on November 29, 1967 in the second leg of the second round of the Messestädte-Pokal 1967/68 beat SSC Napoli with Dino Zoff in goal 5-0.
Recent history
The color of the pants was changed to green in the 2004/05 season to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 2-0 friendly win over Real Madrid . This combination was chosen at the time to avoid confusion with the completely white playing Madrilenians.
Hibernian's last relegation to the First Division was in 1997/1998. They achieved immediate promotion to the Scottish Premier League , including a series of 12 wins in a row. In the end, the Hibs were first in the table with 89 points, 23 points behind the second-placed Falkirk .
They reached the league cup final in 2004, but lost to Livingston FC .
On March 18, 2007 they won the league cup with a sovereign 5-1 win against FC Kilmarnock .
In the 2007/2008 season you could win against Heart of Midlothian , Celtic Glasgow and Glasgow Rangers and stood unbeaten on October 6, 2007 at the top of the Scottish league.
Under coach Pat Fenlon they reached the Scottish Cup finals in 2012 and 2013, but failed due to local rivals Heart of Midlothian and Celtic Glasgow . This qualified them for the Europa League , but embarrassed themselves when they were eliminated in the second qualifying round with a total score of 0: 9 against Swedish representatives Malmö FF . After a 2-0 defeat away, the second leg was lost 7-0 at home, which is a new Scottish record.
After Fenlon's resignation, Terry Butcher was introduced as the new coach on November 1, 2013 . He could be lured away by Inverness Caledonian Thistle . The season was catastrophic under the new coach and the Hibs found themselves in a relegation battle. Hibernian was only penultimate and now had to prevail in the play-off against Hamilton Academical to stay first class. There was a penalty shoot-out, which the Accies could decide for themselves. This sealed the descent of the Hibs.
Butcher and the executive suite of Hibernian were massive criticism on the part exposed to the fans, and finally the coach was fired and the then reserve coach of FC Everton , Alan Stubbs , presented as the new manager. He has a past in Scotland, he was a player for Celtic Glasgow from 1996 to 2001 . Since the Hearts were also relegated, there was an Edinburgh derby in the Scottish second division in the 2014/15 season .
After 114 years ( 1902 ), Hibernian Edinburgh won their third FA Cup in 2016 . They defeated the Glasgow Rangers 3-2. Hibernian was 1: 2 behind by the 80th minute. David Gray scored the decisive goal in the 90th + 2 minute.
In the 2016/17 season , he was promoted to the first division again.
Stadion
The team originally played like all other teams from Edinburgh at the time on the Meadows , a park in the south of Edinburgh's old town. In 1880 the club moved to the Leith district , where the newly built Hibernian Park stadium stood. This is where Bothwell Street runs today. Since 1891, Hibernian has been hosting its home games in the stadium on Easter Road , just a stone's throw from their first home.
Rival Heart of Midlothian
The traditional competitor of the Hibs is the Heart of Midlothian club, also based in Edinburgh . The first "official" Edinburgh derby took place on December 25, 1875, when Hearts beat Hibernian 1-0.
It would be the last game in a series of five games for the English FA Cup in 1878 before the two clubs would become the dominant ones in Edinburgh. The Hearts won 3-2 after 0-0, 1-1, 1-1 and 1-1 draws.
Probably the most notable duel was the final in the Scottish Cup on March 14, 1896, which the Hearts won 3-1 at Logie Green . It was so far the only final that was played outside of Glasgow .
Fan friendships
Hibernian supporters have recently started a friendship with the Dutch honorary division club FC Groningen . The unofficial connection was initiated by fans of both clubs and includes, among other things, mutual visits. In addition, the Hibs have cultivated a friendship with Rot-Weiss Essen since the round of 16 of the European Cup 55/56 , although fans of both teams have paid each other frequent visits.
