Two points: The Scottish section appears to me a wee diarranged. Why not in a row like the others? Second one: John Grant leads to a disambigation. John Grant (Scottish footballer) is already reserved but not that important as the international. What to do? -Lemmy- (talk) 19:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I think having all the Scotland players in several rows looks better, the page would be too lengthy otherwise and it is easier to find the player you are looking for this way. John Grant (Scottish footballer) looks like an AFD candidate, I don't see any evidence he has played for a fully professional club. There are loads of Hibs players from back in the day who need articles, even some fairly recent ones (eg Gordon Hunter). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 09:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

On second thoughts, maybe I could make it into tables showing the number of caps won while with Hibs and in total. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:38, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

John Grant (Scottish footballer) is now used for the more notable Hibs and Scotland player of the 1950s. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 09:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Irish flags

Wrong flag for Ireland (FAI). Should be same as Republic of Ireland. Djln--Djln (talk) 21:56, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

At that stage both the FAI and IFA were picking players from all over Ireland, so I think the all-Ireland flag is more accurate than the Republic flag. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 09:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Norwegian players

I have removed the two Norwegian players who played for Hibs midway through the 1978–79 season (Mathisen and Refvik). Although the national football teams site indicates they played for Norway while with Hibs, both players were with Hibs so briefly (Mathisen for three games in November 1978 and Refvik for less than three months) that I would need a source to verify that they played an international match while with Hibs, as in the case of Earl Jean.
