Josh Mulligan

Josh Mulligan was a regular Hibernian midfielder in 2025-26, making 24 Premiership appearances and starting 21 of them. One league goal pointed to a functional rather than decisive attacking contribution, while seven yellow cards underlined a combative role in central areas. His additional seven cup and European qualifying appearances, including one goal in Conference League qualifying, suggested he was used across competitions rather than confined to league depth.

Mulligan's average rating of 6.89 put him in a steady band rather than a standout one, with a peak of 7.96 and a low of 6.2. That spread pointed to generally stable performances, with occasional stronger matches but limited top-end consistency.

At 23, Mulligan's senior career had stayed within Scottish football, covering three clubs: Dundee, Peterhead and Hibernian. His route ran through repeated Peterhead loan spells from Dundee before a move to Hibernian in July 2025, leaving a contained domestic pathway rather than a heavily travelled career.

Mulligan's movement was straightforward: Dundee sent him to Peterhead on loan in October 2020 and again in July 2021, with returns to Dundee in June 2021 and January 2022. His move from Dundee to Hibernian on 1 July 2025 was for an undisclosed fee, making it the only transfer in his history that was not a loan or loan return.
