Hibs fired Europa League warning as Midtjylland head to Scotland on back of six goal show of force
Midtjylland have hit a rich vein of form just in time for the Europa League second leg tie at Easter Road. Sign up to our Hibs football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

It's a frightening sight for Hibs supporters as the Danish side put on a six-goal show of force in preparation for their Europa League second qualifying round second leg against Hibernian on Thursday. Midtjylland faced Sønderjyske and showed no signs of letting up before their big European away day as they smashed six past their Superliga opponents. The player to watch at Easter Road this week will be hat-trick hero Franculino Dju after he scored two first-half goals and wrapped up a three-goal haul in the 75th minute from the penalty spot. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Hibs fans paying a close eye to their opponents may have started thinking about who they will be facing in the next round of the competition after Midtjylland fell behind in the first 10 minutes of the game but they ruthlessly fought back to embarrass the away side. In hindsight, this formidable attacking display could make David Gray's side's display in the first leg look even better after only conceding the one goal and bringing a 1-1 draw home, which leaves the tie evenly poised for The Cabbage to put on a big performance in front of the Hibees. Jamie McGrath's opener was cancelled out in the second half, but Hibs saw out their opponents' dominance in possession and only conceded once from the home side's 23 attempts. What the Hibs boss said after the first leg After the draw away in Denmark, Hibs boss David Gray reflected on what his side are striving to achieve: 'I think the league doesn't lie where we finished last season and this is the reward for that,' he said. 'Domestically, we competed extremely well last season. We've done well against Rangers and Celtic, which are elite teams and then can you go and mix it in Europe? And I include the staff within that as well. So it's where the club wants to be. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'That's very ambitious. The club wants to do that. The fan base, everything, is all geared up for this club to be successful and you need to enjoy these moments. But also you need to make sure you don't pass up the opportunity. So it's all to play for. That's all you can ask for.'

Hibernian Community Foundation launches involvement in the 2025 Edinburgh Kiltwalk
The Hibernian Community Foundation has launched its involvement in the 2025 Edinburgh Kiltwalk. Taking place on Sunday, September 14, this will be the 6th time HCF have been involved, with numbers steadily increasing year on year. HCF will cover the cost of your entry using the code HIBS2025 when you sign up to walk and are challenging and encouraging all walkers to raise £150 or more to celebrate Hibernian FC's 150th anniversary. Sign up here and nominate 'Hibernian Community Foundation' as your charity, otherwise the discount code will not activate. The Edinburgh Kiltwalk began in 2016 as a way of bringing charities across Scotland together to raise funds for their chosen cause. Walkers began to nominate HCF in 2020 during virtual COVID Kiltwalks, before HCF officially entered in 2023 with 300 Community Academy players raising over £18,000 fora range of community football initiatives. In 2024, HCF once again participated as an official charity, encouraging Community Academy players, fans, staff and members of the Hibernian community to walk and raise funds. Walkers were joined by several men's team players including captain and HCF board member Joe Newell, Nicky and Chris Cadden, Rudi Molotnikov and Josh Campbell, as well as David Gray, Sporting Director Malkay Mackay and Chairman Ian Gordon. Walkers' efforts in harsh conditions were rewarded with over £16,000 raised, marking another impressive entry for HCF. '2023 and 2024 were both such great successes for us, and we are eager to be bigger and better in 2025,' said Chair of the HCF Board, Steve Smith. 'The money raised each year has been pivotal in our delivery of football and community activities, providing equipment and support for people who don't regularly receive it.' This year, HCF is challenging every walker to raise £150, honouring the 150th anniversary of Hibernian FC and the charitable, community-focused roots of the club. 'We know the target of £150 per walker is ambitious, but we also know the community surrounding Hibs rallies behind their friends, and hopefully every walker can hit that target.' As in previous years, the HCF will be organising to leave as a group in the 10.30am Wee Wander slot, so participants should indicate that in their registration. Anyone aiming to participate in either the Big Stroll or Mighty Stride, the discount code will still apply. Whichever length you choose, please be sure to link your Just Giving fundraising page to HCF's: 2025 Kiltwalk with HCF. This year, walkers will have the opportunity to walk alongside their heroes. Please note that appearances from players and the coaching staff are dependent on availability amid changes in fixtures. Like this: Like Related
