Hibs boss Nick Montgomery and his players are coming under increased scrutiny after a gut-wrenching 1-1 draw with Motherwell on Saturday.
It’s a result that has consigned the club to a bottom-six finish in the Scottish Premiership this season. Leading 1-0 at Fir Park going into second half stoppage time, Motherwell launched a long throw into the box which Hibs failed to deal with as centre half Shane Blaney struck an equaliser for the hosts.
This result encapsulates the club’s recent form and their failure to see out results. In recent months, the likes of Ross County, Hearts, Celtic and St Mirren have all benefited from late defensive lapses in Montgomery’s side.
The former Sheffield United man is the fifth different name to be appointed by the capital club in the last five years. We take a look at the last 12 permanent Hibs managers and how their careers have fared since leaving the Edinburgh club, including one at Newcastle United holding big ambitions while a more recent appointment causing divides in opinion.
