Hibs head into the new season to go one better than last year as they look to improve on their fifth placed finish in the Scottish Premiership.
The Easter Road club’s third consecutive top half finish under head coach David Gray, a lack of consistency left sections of the Hibs fanbase frustrated at a failure to push for the European places.
That said, the club have been quick adding to the squad early in the window, announcing the arrivals of Jason Kerr, Azeem Abdulai and Callum Wright. There’s been an outgoing too, though, with Elie Youan leaving departing the club upon the expiry of his contract.
But which other players are facing an uncertain few months ahead? Which Hibs players are about to enter the final year of their contract - and which of them could depart the club next summer?
