Hibs are creating chances - so why aren't results following? David Gray's side sit third in the Premiership table but will feel they could have taken more from their opening four fixtures.

This, from @liambryce.bsky.social, neatly sums up the *chaos* we're seeing from Hibs at the moment.

Top of the league for xG, mid-table for xG conceded despite actual goals conceded, and winless at home.

But is there any cause for concern just yet?

🎯 Jacob MacIntyre scored twice for loan side Kelty Hearts last night and has been MOTM for two consecutive games.

🔙 He is due back at Hibs on January 1 2025, so what next for the highly-rated midfielder?

Hibs slip back to bottom but is there cause for optimism from Celtic display? Saturday's game between Celtic and Hibs was very much a case of the scoreline not quite telling the story of the 90 minutes.

✍🏻 There's cause for optimism from Hibs' display at Celtic, despite slipping back to the bottom of the table, but the real test is how they respond to another 'played well, got nothing' scenario

Where recruitment chief Garvan Stewart fits into Hibs' management structure Garvan Stewart has already started work as Hibs' head of recruitment. But how will the former Bournemouth man fit into the club's structure?

Thought it might be useful, following his appointment, to highlight where Garvan Stewart sits in the Hibs hierarchy, who he reports to, who he's replaced, why his role is slightly different, and what it means for the others in the food chain.

Gritty Hibs tough it out in the steel capital - can this be a turning point? Hibs displayed a new-found toughness in their 3-0 win at Motherwell. So can they use this as a turning point to kickstart a disappointing season?

I think we saw a new side to Hibs against Motherwell - a gritty toughness, of which we only saw glimpses against Aberdeen. One result doesn't make a season - but Hibs can, and should, build on their steely performance at Fir Park
