Kilmarnock FC vs. Hibernian FC (03.01.2026)

Kilmarnock FC

The most common nickname for this Ayrshire club is Killie, which probably needs no explanation, or the more moderate Knock. The song "Paper Roses", originally a hit for American singer and political activist Anita Bryant, has been adopted by the club's fans as their anthem. The club has a long-standing rivalry with Ayr United, another club from the same town, whom it has met 256 times and won 189 of those. The first derby was played in 1910. Ayr United, however, currently play one level lower in the competition.

Hibernian FC

The usual nicknames for one of Edinburgh's clubs are Hibs, or The Hibees or The Cabbage. The original anthem is Glory, Glory to the Hibees, written by a Scottish comedian. Long-time fans include Scottish singing duo The Proclaimers, who were heavily involved in the "Hands off Hibs" campaign to save the club in 1990. The song from their album Sunshine on Leith then became the current anthem and is traditionally played before big games at the home stadium.
