Hibs will face familiar opposition in the Premiership after Falkirk secured promotion back into Scottish football’s top tier over the last week.
The two sides have met on a number of occasions over the last decade as they have faced off in the League Cup, Championship and Scottish Cup - but over 15 years have passed since they last met in the Scottish Premiership - then known as the SPL.
That will all change when the new season gets underway later this summer after the Bairns were crowned as Championship champions following a 3-1 home win against Hamilton Academical on Friday night. That last meeting saw the likes of Liam Miller, Colin Nish and Ian Murray all feature for Hibs - but what happened to the 11 players that started that game as Hibs claimed a 3-1 away win against Falkirk.
