Gallery: Hibs Edge Essen In Historic Friendly

View our image gallery from another memorable night at Easter Road as we kicked off our 150th Anniversary season in style. 

The Hibees edged out Rot-Weiss Essen 3-2 on the night in what was a lively and entertaining game from start to finish. 

The game proved to be a good run-out for both teams as preparation continues for the start of the 2025/26 campaign, but off the pitch – the match carried extra historical significance. 

It was the first time Rot-Weiss Essen had returned to Easter Road since 1955 – when we played in the inaugural European Cup and became the first British Club to do so. 

Over 2,000 Essen fans travelled over from Germany to mark the occasion, creating a carnival atmosphere inside Easter Road from start to finish.

In addition, as part of the Club’s 150th Anniversary plans, the East Stand was officially renamed ‘The Pat Stanton Stand’ with a special unveiling taking place before kick-off with Pat himself. 

Check out the best of the imagery from an action-packed evening!
