Hibs have confirmed three of the guests for the upcoming European Pioneers Celebration Dinner on Tuesday 8 July 2025.
Held in the Famous Five Suite, the special evening will be hosted by Luke Shanley and will feature a three-course meal, card bar, and exclusive Q&A sessions with iconic names from Hibs and beyond.
The names announced today include Des Bremner, a key member of the Turnbull Tornadoes and a European champion, who made 287 Hibs appearances under legendary manager Eddie Turnbull between 1972 and 1979.
At Hibs, Bremner won the 1973 Drybrough Cup, played in European competitions and helped the Club to the final of both the Scottish Cup and League Cup, before moving on to Aston Villa – where he lifted both the European Cup and European Super Cup in 1982.
Joining Bremner will be John O'Neil, who spent three years with the Club from 2000 to 2003 and was a part of the Hibernian side that took on AEK Athens in the UEFA Cup in 2001.
O'Neil also memorably scored twice at Hampden Park against Livingston to send Hibs to the 2000/01 Scottish Cup Final. and also scored in the famous 6-2 demolition derby at Easter Road.
Former Hibs and Rot-Weiss Essen defender Mathias Jack is the third guest. The German defender joined Hibs in 1999 and was a popular figure in EH7 over the turn of the millennium.
Before his four-year Hibs stay, Jack had previously played for Rot-Weiss Essen between 1993-95. He was instrumental in Essen's remarkable run to the 1994 DFB-Pokal Final and also won the Lower Rhine Cup at the club.
