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.

10. Chris Humphrey
Brought in late 2016 to add some spark to the attack. Did make an impact in a top-of-the-table clash against Dundee United but it quickly became apparent the former Motherwell speedster's powers had diminished. Photo: SNS Group Alan Harvey
11. Deivydas Matulevicius
A Lithuanian international with 40 caps, he failed to score a single league goal in 12 appearances. Photo: SNS Group Alan Harvey
12. Faycal Rherras
Good as a banter signing. The former Hearts full-back played one game and spent the rest of his time at Easter Road winding up Jambos on social media. Photo: SNS Group Craig Williamson
