List of Hibernian F.C. players explained
This is a list of notable footballers who have played for Hibernian from the formation of the club in 1875 to present. It generally includes only players who made more than 100 league appearances for the club, but some players with fewer than 100 appearances are also included. This includes players who have set a club record, such as most appearances, most goals or biggest transfer fee.[1]
Some of the players listed made few or no league appearances for Hibs, due to their playing for the club before it entered the Scottish Football League in 1893.
The club first created a hall of fame in July 2010 to mark its 135th birthday.[2] The first group of nominees were publicised in August 2010 and were inducted at a dinner on 15 October.[2] Further groups of players were inducted in November 2012[3] [4] and February 2017.[5]

International players
This is a list of Hibernian players who have been capped at full international level by their country whilst at the club. The Hibernian Historical Trust staged an exhibition of memorabilia relating to these international players at Easter Road during the summer of 2008. Despite the club having an Irish heritage, the first Hibs player to represent a national team other than Scotland was when Bobby Atherton played for Wales in 1899. Lawrie Reilly won the most caps while a Hibs player, with 38 for Scotland.
