They had to come from behind at the national stadium, a Joe McPherson own goal cancelling out Connor McLennan’s opener for the Dons and two goals in six minutes from Ryan Porteous and Jamie Gullan completing the turnaround. Here’s what the squad is up to these days…
5. Sean Mackie, left-back
Injuries and Lewis Stevenson hampered his opportunities in the first team at Hibs but he did 21 appearances, registering three assists. Had spells on loan at Berwick, FC Edinburgh, Dundee, and Raith Rovers before leaving permanently last summer to join Falkirk, where he has made 29 appearances to date. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
6. Innes Murray, right midfield
Versatile midfielder didn’t quite make the grade at Easter Road but was on the fringes of the first team. Spent time on loan with Stenhousemuir, Airdrie, Alloa, and finally FC Edinburgh where he played an instrumental role in the Citizens winning promotion to League One. He signed on a permanent basis last summer and has so far hit six goals and four assists in 35 league games. Photo: Euan Cherry - SNS Group
7. Josh Campbell, central midfield
There was a time when Campbell’s career at Hibs looked done, but the versatile midfielder hit ten goals and four assists in 31 games during a loan spell with FC Edinburgh. Still just 22 but a first-team regular who Hibs recently tied to a new deal to fend off transfer interest from the English Championship. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
8. Ben Stirling, central midfield
A Scotland youth cap, Stirling was tipped by Neil Lennon to make the breakthrough at Hibs when he was recalled early from a loan spell with Cowdenbeath. But injuries weren’t kind to him and after further temporary moves to Arbroath and Alloa he left Hibs to join Hamilton in the summer of 2020 before signing for FC Edinburgh. Notched an assist for Porteous in the final. Photo: SNS Group Ross MacDonald
