Head coach Stephen Robinson has been speaking to the media before Aberdeen's Scottish Premiership opener at home to Hearts on Saturday evening. On Kevin Nisbet being named captain: "Kevin knows the football club, knows the standards of this football club which I thought was very important with so many new players coming in." New signing Chris Cadden brings a "vast amount of experience in the league", with Robinson adding: "Everybody we bring in now I believe is strengthening the squad."
How Scotland, and other parts of the world, became entranced by the fairytale only for the reality of sport's essential brutality to hit them square between the eyes at Celtic Park on denouement day. If there is a non-Glasgow team capable of roughing up the big two as Heart of Midlothian did repeatedly last season then we're in for a wild ride. If this league campaign goes to the final three minutes on the final day, if the domestic football story to beat all domestic football stories is in touching distance as the campaign swings for home next spring then we'll be blessed.
Motherwell cannot afford to sit back on their 2-0 lead in the second leg of their Conference League second qualifying round tie away to HB Torshevn, Joelle Murray has warned. The Hibernian women's head coach recognises it was "a very good performance" and "a good result" in the first leg at Fir Park. "Very impressive result, but it's going to be difficult because, as has been reported all week, HB have created a fortress," Murray said on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast about the side who are unbeaten in eight home European ties since losing to Levadia Tallinn of Estonia 10 years ago.
Hibernian forward Tegan Bowie has joined Serie A side Parma Calcio on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee after the Italian club triggered a release clause in her contract. Bowie was part of the Hibs academy in her youth before joining Celtic but the winger returned to Edinburgh in 2023 where she has cemented herself as a key member of the squad. The 22-year-old made 101 appearances and scored nine goals for Hibs.
Nicolas Milanovic says a return to Western Sydney Wanderers from Aberdeen "just felt right" after a disappointing season with the Scottish Premiership club. The 24-year-old winger has been sold back to the A-League outfit, for whom he won the Johnny Warren Medal - awarded to the league's player of the year - two seasons ago. "This club has always meant a lot to me and I'm incredibly proud to be back representing Western Sydney," Milanovic told the club website.
Hibernian's summer recruits are looking good and it's down to the "fantastic job" being done by sporting director Malky Mackay, reckons Andy Halliday. Ahead of the Leith side's return to competitive action in the Conference League second qualifying round first leg against Malisheva in Kosovo, head coach David Gray has some selection headaches. Key creator Nicky Cadden is one of the core squad members ruled out with injury, but former Hearts and Motherwell midfielder Halliday anticipates the summer reinforcements filling the void well, particularly at the top end of the park.
