The knee: Bjorn Kristensen out for 100 days

100 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Hibernians lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Mailson Lima in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hibernians this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A row about effort at Hibernians

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mouad El Fanis was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Matteo Cardinali is still paying for one afternoon at Hibernians

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

No hiding place for Arlis Shala

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Arlis Shala, and the manager let it.

Ali Diakité asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Home is on Ryder Matos's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Hibernians are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

A falling-out at Hibernians

Mailson Lima and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Pedrão

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Mark Howard stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mark Howard and Hibernians agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

The manager has not finished forgetting Matteo Cardinali's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Matthew Ellul falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
