KilmarnockMotherwell 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.
Kilmarnock midfielder Aaron Tshibola has vowed to "pick up where I left off" after returning "home" by signing a new one-year contract with the Scottish Premiership club. The former Aston Villa 31-year-old, who was part of DR Congo's World Cup squad this summer, spent the second half of last season with Neil McCann's side. After playing a key role as they avoided relegation with a fine run at the end of the season, Tshibola has effectively started a fourth spell at Rugby Park, having first joined in 2018 under Steve Clarke.
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.
