Hibs have wished a fond farewell to Shannon Leishman and Lia Tweedie who's long associations with the club have ended. Leishman has said her goodbyes to the team she grew up supporting after 11 successful years and over 150 appearances. She trained with Hibs Women before she was 16 years old and made her senior debut in 2014 versus Rangers, departing with a league winners' medal after nine appearances for Hibs and then spending the second half of the 2024/25 SWPL campaign on loan at Motherwell. She helped guide the Lanarkshire side to a first-ever top six finish and the Scottish Cup Semi-Finals.

Head coach Grant Scott has wished Leishman the best for the future. Hibs reaction to long serving player exits He said: 'Shannon has been a dedicated servant to Hibernian over the past 11 years. Coming through our Academy, Shannon has from a young age always set an example for others to follow and her commitment to being the ultimate professional has helped us to many successes over the years. More than all of that, she's a great person whose presence will be missed. We thank her for her contributions and wish her all the best for the future.' It comes after Tweedie's exit was also recently announced. Over two stints at Hibs, the forward won seven trophies in total, including a couple of Scottish Cups and four Scottish League Cups. She made a substitute appearance on the final day of the season against Rangers as league glory was secured. Scott said: 'I want to thank Lia for her outstanding contribution to Hibernian. She is a great person who has deservedly picked up plenty of winners' medals with the Club. 'From coming through the Hibs Academy to performing on the European stage and winning silverware, Lia has always remained a fantastic servant to this Club and will be a big loss to the group – both on and off the pitch. I wish Lia the best of luck with what comes next for her in her career.'

Hibs striker Lia Tweedie to leave the Club this summer.
Hibs striker Lia Tweedie will leave the Club this summer. The 27-year-old amassed 124 appearances and scored 47 goals in Green and White across two spells. Tweedie joined the Hibs Girls Academy aged 11 in 2009. At 16 years old, she scored on her senior debut in a 9-1 victory over Buchan on 18 May 2014. After a brief spell away from Leith, the forward returned to Hibernian Women in August 2022. Over two stints at Hibs, the forward won seven trophies in total – including two Scottish Cups and four Scottish League Cups. The striker has netted a number of hat-tricks in Hibs colours, including in key victories over Rangers, Motherwell and Forfar Farmington, and reached a century of appearances for the Club in April 2023. Tweedie was also fond of a crucial Derby Day goal against Hearts, with none more memorable than her unforgettable long-range volley during the 2023/24 campaign – which was subsequently voted as the Club's Goal of the Season. She leaves on a high after earning a first league winners' medal with the Club – with the forward coming on as a late substitute at Ibrox as Hibs defeated Rangers to secure the SWPL title. On Lia's departure, Hibs Women head coach Grant Scott said: 'I want to thank Lia for her outstanding contribution to Hibernian. She is a great person who has deservedly picked up plenty of winners' medals with the Club. 'From coming through the Hibs Academy to performing on the European stage and winning silverware, Lia has always remained a fantastic servant to this Club and will be a big loss to the group – both on and off the pitch. 'I wish Lia the best of luck with what comes next for her in her career.' A Club spokesperson said: 'Everybody at Hibernian FC wishes all the best to Lia and thank her for all her contributions throughout her time at the Club.' Like this: Like Related

Foreign couple says nothing is ‘too raw to eat' in India in video, Internet reacts
A foreign couple's observation about India's approach to using raw and green ingredients in everyday cooking has triggered a lively conversation online, especially among Indian food Instagram, content creators Guru and Lia shared their admiration for Indian cuisine, calling it remarkably inventive when it comes to using unripe ingredients. Sharing a video, Guru explained how green mangoes are commonly pickled, raw jackfruit is cooked into savoury dishes, and even edible flowers are turned into fritters or is no such thing as too raw to eat in India,' read their caption. 'When it is a flower, you can make pakora. When it is raw, cook in sabji. When it is ripe, eat as it is. That's so amazing.' Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Life in India with Guru and Lila (@guru_laila)The post struck a chord with many Indians, especially those who hadn't consciously thought about their own culinary habits. 'As an Indian, I didn't realise that I eat so many things raw. I have been doing it routinely without even realising it,' a user said. However, several users pointed out that India's food culture varies widely by region, and not all communities use ingredients in the way described by the couple. 'That's completely wrong and stereotypical. In South India, we have sambar, spicy dishes, millet-based meals we don't only rely on vegetables,' a user said. advertisementAnother user pointed out how India's vegetarian meals are often fresh and unprocessed, which contrasts them with Western fast food. 'Wait until you find out that India has the most vegetarian dishes, and all are not processed like cheeseburgers,' the user said. See the comments here: Guru and Lia's post may have started with a simple observation, but it opened the door to a broader reflection on the diversity and depth of Indian food, one that Indians themselves are still learning to appreciate.

Watch the new Arc'teryx film following elite climber Nina Caprez's Moroccan adventure
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Elite climber Nina Caprez, an Arc'teryx sponsored athlete, has unveiled her new film: Andrea: an Unpaved Route. A story of motherhood, adversity, community and an uncompromising approach to adventure as a parent, it's an inspiring and deeply moving watch. In the film, Nina, a decorated sport and big wall climber, along with her partner Jérémy Bernard and their daughter Lia, set out on a journey across Morocco. They drive through the country in Andrea, their personalized Unimog four-wheel drive truck and the centerpiece of a non-profit project to bring adventure to local communities. The truck comes complete with solar panels and an in-built climbing wall. En route, they visit some beautifully remote and wild climbing spots, where Nina explores what it is to be a climber and a mother, connecting with other women along the way. It's a hopeful study in how adventure can be redefined as a parent and how relationships and communities can be forged through climbing, even in tough times. In its early part, the film documents the circumstances surrounding the arrival of Nina's daughter Lia, who was born with a heart defect: a deformed aortic valve. "The world collapsed around us," says Nina in the film. Lia's subsequent recovery after surgery provides the springboard for their family adventure to Morocco and sets the emotional tone of the film. Once in Morocco, a catastrophe strikes, putting the strength of their Andrea project to the test, as they seek to provide assistance in the aftermath. Nina is a Swiss professional climber and Arc'teryx sponsored athlete who has conquered routes around the world, from classics on Oregon's Smith Rock to big walls in Patagonia and Kyrgyzstan. As one of the world's leading big wall and sport climbers, she has numerous first ascents to her name, including the first female ascents of El Niño (5.13c, 8a+) in Yosemite and of Merci la vie (also 5.13c, 8a+) on the famous North Face of the Eiger. She and partner Jérémy Bernard, an extreme sports photographer, have forged a life together where they can continue to follow their passions.

‘There is no such thing as too raw to eat in India': Foreigner couple praises desi food creativity in viral video
A foreign couple who moved to India sparked an engaging conversation on Instagram with their take on Indian cuisine's use of raw and green ingredients. Guru and Lia shared their amazement at how nothing in India is 'too raw to eat,' highlighting the country's inventive use of unripe foods. Also read: Natasha Poonawalla attends Lauren Sánchez's Paris bachelorette ahead of Jeff Bezos wedding Guru explained that in Indian cuisine, hardly anything is considered too raw to be used in cooking. For example, green mangoes, which are unripe and sour, are commonly preserved and enjoyed as pickles. Similarly, green jackfruit, even when still immature, is cooked as sabzi. He also highlighted the creativity in Indian cooking by mentioning that even flowers can be transformed into delicious pakoras, a popular fried snack. Their Instagram caption summed it up beautifully: 'There is no such thing as too raw to eat in India. When it is a flower, you can make pakora. When it is raw, cook in sabji. When it is ripe, eat as it is. That's so amazing.' A post shared by Life in India with Guru and Lila (@guru_laila) The post invited a wave of responses from Indian followers.

Another user challenged the generalisation, stating, 'Yeah, that's completely wrong and stereotypical to say that. In South India, we don't eat that kind of food here. We have different sambar, spicy dishes, and millet-rich foods. We don't depend only on vegetables or related items. Rice is better here.' A user noted, 'Wait until you found out that India has the most vegitarian dishes and all are not processed like cheese burger ' Also read: 'I just got pulled aside by TSA': Woman stopped at airport for carrying 'something crazy' in carry-on luggage
