Two weeks ago marked the end of Nick Montgomery's first transfer window as Hibs manager.
The boss brought in the likes of Myziane Maolida and Emiliano Marcondes to Easter Road with the former scoring in his second outing in a Hibs shirt.
However, it is not always so simple for the new signings at Easter Road to come in and hit the ground running. Many have joined the Leith-based club with high expectations placed upon them but the nature of the modern game, with players and managers changing so frequently, that they do not live up to those presumptions.
This does not make them all bad players, only that they could not find a way to contend with the way of life in Leith or the manager under whom they worked.
As we head into the final matches before the Scottish Premiership split comes into effect, here are 25 Easter Road players of the past who ended their time at Hibs with what could have been tales..
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
