Scottish Premiership

Despite winning their opening match, Hibs got off to a poor start to the league season.[8] After they lost the first Edinburgh derby of the season, Hibs fan Irvine Welsh claimed that they were "favourites" for relegation.[8]

Hibs eventually finished in seventh place. They had been in sixth place when the league season was suspended on 13 March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but were awarded seventh place due to St Johnstone having a slightly higher points average.[9]

League Cup

Hibs entered the 2019–20 Scottish League Cup at the group stage, and a 2–0 win at Elgin City in their final match clinched a place in the last 16.[10] Elgin player Kane Hester was booked during the match; he was later charged with conspiring to con betting company Bet365 by placing bets that he would receive a yellow card,[11][12] but was found not proven.[13]

Hibs were drawn at home to Championship club Greenock Morton in the last 16.[14] Hibs needed extra time to defeat Morton and reach the quarter-finals, where they were drawn away to Kilmarnock.[15] By winning a penalty shootout Hibs progressed to the semi-finals, where they were paired with holders Celtic.[16]

Hibs lost 5–2 to Celtic in the semi-final. Two days later, and with the team sitting in 10th place in the league, head coach Paul Heckingbottom was sacked by Hibs.[2]

Scottish Cup

Hibs were drawn away to Championship leaders Dundee United in the fourth round.[17] They won that tie after a replay and were then drawn with Lowland League (fifth tier) side BSC Glasgow.[18] A 4–1 win put Hibs into the quarter-final, where they were given a home draw against Championship side Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[19] Inverness were the only club from outside the Premiership to have reached the quarter-final.[19]

A 5–2 win against Inverness gave Hibs a place in the semi-final, which produced an Edinburgh derby with Hearts.[20] That match was originally scheduled for 11 April, but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.[21] On 21 July, the Scottish Football Association announced that the semi-finals would be played on the weekend of 31 October / 1 November 2020.[22][23] Hibs lost 2–1 after extra time in the semi-final, with Kevin Nisbet missing a penalty moments before Hearts scored their winning goal (also from a penalty).[24]
