Transfer windows have always amassed much excitement with fans waiting anxiously to hear who will represent their beloved teams in the following season. The Scottish Premiership is one such league to welcome players from around the world to their shores, all with the hope of furthering their game and expanding their footballing skills. However, not all new signings have been a success.
Hibs have enjoyed the tenure of several superstars over the years, with many going on to become world-class footballers. However, there are equally many more who struggled at the Leith-based club for whatever reason.
While not all were inherently poor footballers, there have been several figures who just couldn’t get the hang of life at Easter Road and now find themselves in an unfortunate list with Edinburgh Evening News. Here are 25 former Hibs players who failed to make an impact for the Scottish Premiership side.

7. Henri Anier
Had top-flight pedigree so should have been a decent signing for the Championship. Played just three games. Photo: SNS Group Alan Rennie
8. Daniel Carmichael
Was part of the Queen of the South team which sparkled the previous campaign, but his Hibs career never got started due to injuries, which ultimately robbed him of a career at the professional level too early. Photo: SNS Group Gary Hutchison
