Hibs will soon be back in action as they prepare to face Elgin City in the Scottish League Cup group stage matches. The Easter Road outfit will head up to Moray for Saturday’s clash, with this fixture marking only the third time the two clubs have played each other.
Easter Road hosted Elgin City in the Scottish FA Cup back in January 2019 with Hibs triumphing 4-0. Florian Kamberi, Daryl Horgan and Stephen Mallan all hit the back of the net to see the Hibees progress through to the next round.
The last time Elgin and Hibs came head-to-head was in July of the same year and while it wasn’t quite such a beating, Hibs still came through with a 2-0 win. As the Hibees prepare for their first game o the 2024/25 season, this is where the July 2019 squad to have beaten Elgin at Borough Briggs are now...
