The 2016-17 campaign delivered a triumphant return to the top flight for Hibernian as The Hibees, under the guidance of Neil Lennon, clinched the Scottish Championship title. Leading the charge was the prolific forward Jason Cummings, whose 19 goals proved decisive in a campaign built on attacking verve and momentum. It was a glorious year that marked the club's long-awaited escape from the second tier after three seasons and remains a defining chapter in the history of the Edinburgh club.
