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.
21. Nathan Wood
Was seen only once at Hibs last season after joining on loan from Nottingham Forest. Oddly, he's played regularly for Swansea City in the English Championship this term. Photo: Paul Devlin - SNS Group
22. James Scott
Came on to a game at the end of the season, including a hat-trick in his final game, but for the most part he either toiled or was absent from the team altogether. Ex-manager Jack Ross criticised his fitness. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
23. Demetri Mitchell
Another ex-Hearts player, he showed some initial promise after signing last season but suffered an injury and didn't show much this campaign before his release. Was substituted before half-time in his final game. Photo: Roddy Scott - SNS Group
24. Chris Mueller
Signed the previous summer before arriving last January. There was much hype and expectation but he didn't live up to it at all. Also rumoured to be on a hefty wage packet. His departure back to the States was announced before the end of the season. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
