Three Hibernian players were named in the BBC's Premiership team of the week after their performances in a 2-1 victory. The selections of Grant Hanley, Felix Passlack, and Callum Wright highlighted a strong collective display.
Hibernian currently sit seventh in the Premiership with six points from three games, recording two wins and one loss. They have scored five goals and conceded four so far this season, leaving them six points behind leaders Celtic.
Grant Hanley provided the assist for Martin Boyle's opening goal with a commanding defensive header. His presence at set-pieces was a constant threat throughout the match. Felix Passlack also registered an assist, delivering a precise cross from the right flank that created a major chance. Callum Wright secured his place in the team by scoring the decisive goal, edging out competition from teammate Jacob Devaney for the final midfield spot.
Dundee United matched Hibernian's total with three players of their own in the BBC's selection. Goalkeeper Jack Walton kept a clean sheet with five saves, while defender Bert Esselink was praised for a powerful display in an away shutout. Will Ferry scored with his right foot in their win over Kilmarnock. Emmanuel Agyei, the Ghana international, contributed a goal and two key passes, and Algerian winger Mehdi Merghem provided two assists.
Players from other clubs rounded out the team. Motherwell's Alex Lowry created five key passes, and St Mirren's Spanish forward Samuel Ramos scored once and set up two more. Celtic's Camilo Duran led the line after scoring twice against Falkirk.
The team's recent form reads WWL, and they face a significant test in their next fixture. They travel to face league leaders Celtic on December 12th. The club's early-season statistics are available on our stats page.
Earning three spots in the weekly best XI provides a confidence boost ahead of a challenging schedule. The focus now shifts to preparing for the trip to Celtic Park in December. Managerial staff will be pleased with the contributions from across the squad, particularly the decisive attacking input from Wright and the creative work of Passlack. The next match is an away fixture against Celtic on 2026-12-12.
