Hibs have suffered an up and down season on the whole, now fighting uphill to avoid a bottom six Premiership finish following defeat to St Johnstone.
The club have gone through plenty of ups and downs over the years, and it’s no different in the transfer market. While the club have landed fan favourites aplenty, they have also had their fair share of signings who just haven’t lived up to the billing.
They have also had some youth stars who were tipped to become stars only to not quite hit the heights expected. With that in mind, we have rounded up some of the most memorable players who didn’t quite make the grade. Take a look below.
17. Glenn Middleton
Proven himself a capable top-flight attacker with St Johnstone and has had his moments at Dundee United, but there was little evidence of this at Hibs after he joined on loan from Rangers. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
18. Josh Vela
A popular player at Bolton, with several seasons in the Championship, but he struggled badly at Hibs. Now playing for Carlisle United Photo: SNS Group Paul Devlin
19. Tom James
Another Heckingbottom signing, not bad going forward but the full-back struggled badly with the defensive side of the game. Played just 12 times and was on the books for two years. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
20. Drey Wright
One of the many players to have performed at St Johnstone but struggled at Hibs, was once booed on to the park by his own fans at Easter Road. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
