Honesty is Hibs' policy to fix malaise, says Iredale

Hibs will rely on "honesty" in addressing their current inability to build momentum, according to defender Jack Iredale.

Jack Iredale: ‘We can’t leave it too late to get our season going’

And the Aussie star insists David Gray's men can't leave it "too late" to drag themselves into contention at the business end of the Scottish Premiership.

The Easter Road side pulled off a stunning comeback after enduring a horrific start last season, with Gray's men sitting bottom of the table as late as early December. A record-breaking run of 17 straight league games without loss contributed to Hibs finishing third with a game to spare.

They've struggled to gain any momentum over the first 11 rounds of league fixtures in season 2025-26, with their six-game European adventures definitely a factor.

It looked as if they'd managed to get something going with recent wins at home to Livingston and away to Aberdeen - their first back-to-back victories of the SPFL campaign.

But a missed penalty saw them lose at home to Rangers last midweek. And the weekend draw away to Livi, who scored an injury-time penalty to steal a point, was a heavy blow to their ambitions.
