The Hibernian Development Squad return from their summer break to take on Haddington Athletic in their first pre-season friendly!

The match will kick-off at 7pm on Tuesday (1 July) at Millfield Park, Haddington. 

The Lowdown

The Dev Squad head into their first of two friendlies this week – with Tuesday evening’s match preceding Saturday afternoon’s clash against Berwick Rangers. 

These clashes will provide the youngsters with essential preparation ahead of a season which sees the team once more enter the KDM Evolution Trophy (Scottish Challenge Cup).

Hibs Under-19s head coach Darren McGregor will lead the Dev Squad team into the match. 

The team will largely be made up of players who will play in our Under-19 squad, who won the CAS Elite Under-18 League last season under McGregor’s stewardship.

The Hosts

Just like the Hibs Dev Squad, this is Haddington’s first taste of pre-season action ahead of the upcoming 2025/26 season. 

Managed by Scott Bonar, Haddington won promotion to the sixth tier during his first season in charge (in 2021/22) and have consistently finished mid-table in the East of Scotland Premier Division since. 

The Hi-His finished eighth in the 16-team Premier Division last season, securing 43 points from 30 matches.
