This will be Derek McInnes' first competitive game as Rangers boss. The last manager to lose their first top-flight league match in charge of the club was Graeme Murty in February 2017 (2-1 v Dundee), with 11 Rangers bosses avoiding defeat in their debut since (W8 D3). McInnes has only lost one of his past 15 Scottish Premiership games against Dundee United (W8 D6), a 4-0 defeat with Kilmarnock in November 2022.
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.
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.
Hibernian are "one step closer" to being ready for European football following their 1-1 draw with Porto in Portugal, says head coach David Gray. Borja Sainz gave Porto the lead shortly before half-time but Felix Passlack levelled during the second period. "I'm really pleased, and it was a really good exercise for what we set out to do," Gray told club media.
"Proven winner" Kirsty Smith has reunited with former Scotland team-mate Leanne Crichton by joining Rangers on a two-year deal. The full-back, who left Women's Super League 2 side Nottingham Forest at the end of last season, returns to her homeland eight years after leaving Hibernian for Manchester United. The 32-year-old, who won promotion to the WSL with United after lifting five domestic trophies with Hibs, also played in England's top-flight with West Ham.
Dundee United have sent striker Owen Stirton to Ayr United on a season-long loan, with manager Jim Goodwin stressing the need for the 19-year-old to play regular first-team football. Stirton made seven appearances, starting three times, on loan to Airdrieonians in the second half of last season as they were relegated from the Championship. Now he returns to the second tier with Ayr under new head coach Gary Naysmith.
Azeem Abdulai has targeted joining new Hibernian teammate Josh Mulligan in the Scotland squad after his transfer from Leyton Orient. The Glasgow-born 23-year-old started as a youth with Celtic, but it was with Swansea City that he first tasted senior football. Abdulai hopes the switch from England's League One to playing alongside the likes of Mulligan will improve his chances of international recognition.
