Scottish Premiership 25/26: All 12 home kits ranked from best to worst, including Rangers, Celtic, Hearts and Hibs
I know that this lowly position is going to upset people because it's a 'classic' design, but this kit is just not for me. Last season's Hibs away shirt was perhaps the best the Scottish Premiership kit for a number of years, but Joma haven't been able to replicate their magic with this one. It's made with recycled polyester material and it does pay homage to Hibs' traditional kits, which is nice I guess. But it's just a bit boring. | SNS Group

Hibs Tactics Zone Special on Europa Conference League opponents Partizan
'No secrets' insists opposition boss - so where can Hibs hurt Serbs? Sign up to our Hibs football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

The opposition on analysis of Partizan Belgrade that landed on David Gray's desk will be much more detailed than that, of course – but those are the most apparent points to be gleaned from a shuffle through the most interesting clips and easily understood data. There is so much focus on the, ahem, other challenges facing visitors to Belgrade, a city notorious for the ferocity of its welcome on big footballing nights, that it's easy enough to overlook the sport itself. Partizan, who blasted their way past Ukrainian side FC Oleksandriya in the second qualifying round of the Europa Conference League, represent a very real tactical and technical challenge for Gray and his players. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Starting with the basics, they're a 4-1-4-1/4-3-3 team in most situations, depending on where the ball is. Which is likely to cause Hibs a couple of problems – but also present numerous opportunities to get at Partizan's back line. Serbs will gamble at times Photo 1 - Partizan are prone to leaving players high up the park | Wyscout Quite considered in their build-up, they will press with intent in the middle of the park. And are prone to leaving a few players high up the park, in the right circumstances, as photo 1 demonstrates. In terms of danger men, Milan Vukotic stands out. He can make mischief in the most limited of spaces. But benefits from the fact that Partizan's entire approach often seems designed to generate room for his talents to flourish. Danger man Vukotic could beat you in a phone box Photo 2 - this leads to a shot on goal by star man penned in | Wyscout In photo 2, you'd suggest that the opposition have Vukotic exactly where they want him. Incredibly, though, he gets away a testing shot from this position.

This snapshot comes as a quick counter-attack has been deliberately slowed down in order to generate precisely the advantage they want; Vukotic rewarded them in this instance, with a goal. Partizan work to make space for star Photo 3 - looking for switch to Vukotic in space | Wyscout Defensively, Partizan's youth and inexperience become evident. Susceptible to a quick counter – music to the ears of Martin Boyle – and vulnerable to midfield runners, they will give you chances. The goalkeeper doesn't exactly have a telepathic understanding with his defenders, either. So pressing at restarts wouldn't be the worst idea. Basic build-up Photo 4 - Belgrade opt for simple 2-3 build-up from goal kicks | Wyscout Srdjan Blagojevic's boys don't try to reinvent the wheel from restarts, with a standard build-up at goal kicks shown in photo 4. But occasionally you will find one of the midfielders dropping into receive the ball from the 'keeper in a bid to draw opponents onto them, creating space to paly around the press (photo 5). Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The occasional tactical twist Photo 5 - inviting pressure to play around it | Wycout There's nothing here that Hibs won't have seen before, in other words. No secret weapons lurking at set pieces. Blagojevic, asked yesterday if he had any surprises up his sleeve for David Gray, pointed out: 'In this era of modern technology, YouTube, social media and Wyscout, it is hard to hide anything. And of course the Hibernian scout has come to see us, just as we sent someone to watch them. 'Just having the information won't make the difference. What makes the difference is how the coaches prepare their counter-plan.'

With Sky Sports having previously been the exclusive home of Scottish Premiership coverage, Premier joined the party last season and will show 22 live games from our top league this coming season. As mentioned, the first of those sees Rangers face Dundee at Ibrox this Saturday. Emma Dodds anchored the live coverage of Premier's Scottish Premiership coverage throughout last season. While she continues to work for the channel, and has already been seen covering Rangers' European exploits this season, she WON'T be the main host of the channel's league coverage this season. This season, it's Connie McLaughlin who'll be taking over as the main presenter. She's no stranger to Scottish football fans having worked across various channels on TV and radio for several years. McLaughlin has been a key part of Premier's coverage itself for some time too. She's been the channel's man pitchside reporter, conducting pre and post-match interviews and has also presented several cup games on the channel. McLaughlin was the lead presenter for the broadcaster's coverage of the Premier Sports Cup group stage during the summer. The new Rangers transfer special looks at John Souttar's future, Rangers' defensive search and if it's the end of Nicolas Raskin But now, the big job is hers and she's revealed she'll be leading the Scottish Premiership output this campaign. Taking to Instagram, McLaughlin said: "We are back this weekend! "I'm feeling very excited to tell you I'll be fronting Premier Sports' league coverage this season! "We can't wait to bring you 22 league games starting at Ibrox on Saturday!" McLaughlin also revealed the rest of the broadcast team for the first game on the channel this weekend. She'll be joined by Premier Sports regulars Alan Hutton, Michael Stewart and Stephen Craigan, while ex-Celtic star Charlie Mulgrew will also be part of it. As ever, Rory Hamilton will be leading the commentary. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Hibs will look to keep their European aspirations alive when they travel to Serbia to face Partizan Belgrade in the Conference League third qualifying round on Thursday.

Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Hibs had battled to a 1-1 draw at the MCH Arena in Herning and took the return leg at Easter Road to extra-time with the same scoreline only to concede in the 119th minute as penalties loomed. The defeat dropped Hibs into the Conference League where they must make it through two ties to reach the league phase of the UEFA third tier competition.
