EDINBURGH, Scotland (Interstat) — Hibernian opened its Scottish Premiership campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory over Kilmarnock on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at Easter Road Stadium.

The hosts established an early lead and never relented. Forward Owen Elding scored just one minute into the match, followed by a goal from midfielder Felix Passlack in the 12th minute. Substitute Ante Šuto sealed the win with a goal in the third minute of second-half stoppage time.

Kilmarnock, which managed no goals, saw its season record in the competition fall to 0-1. Hibernian improved to 1-0. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat, which had forecast a closer 3-2 outcome despite giving Hibernian a 92.2% probability to win. The match featured four yellow cards, all issued to Kilmarnock players.
