Hibs will face Motherwell at Easter Road on Saturday in a match synonymous with end-to-end action and ill-discipline.
The last time the sides met, Jens Berthel Askou’s side were nigh on unplayable as they took an early two goal lead at Fir Park, with Grant Hanley’s early sending off virtually putting the game to bed before it had started. Saying that, he’s not the first and won’t be the last man to be given his marching orders in this fixture with six reds in the past 13 meetings.
From late equalisers in Leith and emotional Easter Road farewells to Fir Park hat-tricks, here’s a look at the last 12 meetings between Hibs and Motherwell ahead of Saturday’s showdown:
5. Hibs 1-2 Motherwell (05/10/24)
The match was finely balanced at 1-1 when Junior Hoilett cancelled out Apostolos Stamatelopolous' opener. However the game turned in favour of the visitors when Nectarios Triantis was sent off. To add insult to injury it was former Hearts man Andy Halliday who got the winner. | SNS Group
6. Hibs 3-0 Motherwell (15/05/24)
Myziane Maolida and Martin Boyle (x2) got the goals on the pitch. But this match was all about two Easter Road icons who made over a century of appearances between them as Lewis Stevenson and Paul Hanlon both bid Easter Road an emotional farewell. | SNS Group
7. Motherwell 1-1 Hibs (13/04/24)
It was injury time heartache for Hibs in this one as Shane Blaney's late screamer cancelled out Myziane Maolida's second half penalty. Joe Newell was visibly scunnered after the game. | SNS Group
8. Hibs 2-2 Motherwell (02/01/24)
It was Hibs' turn to snatch a late equaliser in this one as Elie Youan's defected effort salvaged a point. The Frenchman put the Hibees a goal up earlier in the match, however goals from Theo Bair and Bevis Mugabi put the visitors in the ascendancy. | SNS Group
