The 2012-13 campaign was a season of individual brilliance and cup heartache for Hibernian, as The Hibees secured a 7th-place finish in the Scottish Premier League. Leading the charge was the sensational loan star Leigh Griffiths, whose 23 league goals and 28 total goals earned him both the PFA Scotland and Scottish Football Writers Player of the Year awards. The season was defined by The Hibees reaching the Scottish Cup Final, a run highlighted by a dramatic 4-3 semi-final comeback win over Falkirk, and Griffiths' individual heroics, which cemented his status as a club talisman in a memorable, if ultimately frustrating, chapter of their modern history.
