Ofir Marciano may have been born in Ashdod, but he was made in Leith.
A quiet, dedicated family man and model professional off the pitch, the goalkeeper has been a dependable performer on it since turning a successful loan spell at Hibernian into a permanent stay in the summer of June 2017.
His form for The Hibees has been key in reclaiming the number one shirt for the Israel national team โ something Ofir is fiercely proud of.
