The 2018–19 season was Hibernian's (Hibs) second season of play back in the top league of Scottish football (the Scottish Premiership), having been promoted from the Scottish Championship at the end of the 2016–17 season.[2] Hibs also entered the Europa League,[3] and progressed through two qualifying rounds before losing to Norwegian club Molde. They were knocked out of the League Cup in a penalty shootout by Aberdeen, and in the Scottish Cup by Celtic, and finished fifth in the league.
Hibs manager Neil Lennon was suspended by the club on 26 January 2019,[4] and was subsequently replaced by Paul Heckingbottom.[5]

Notes:
- Teams play each other three times (33 matches), before the league is split into two groups (the top six and the bottom six).
- Since the winners of the 2018–19 Scottish Cup, Celtic, qualified for European competition based on league position, the spot awarded to the Scottish Cup winners (Europa League first qualifying round) was passed to the fourth-placed team.
