Hibs players playing champions League football

[EGL2000]

One of my bored at work rabbit whole deep dives. Can we get a list of all the Hibs players who have went on to play a game in the champions league after representing us. I can only think of a couple off the top of my head but I assume there will be a few more from earlier years that I'm too young to remember/know. I'm counting qualifiers as well or I feel the list would be extremely short!

I will start us off with

John McGinn (Villa)
Scott Brown (Celtic)
Kenny Miller (Rangers, Celtic)
Derek Riordan (Celtic)
Scott Bain (Celtic)
Abedellah Zoubir (Qarabag)

I remember watching him v Arsenal. An Arsenal player kicked him in the head and he went down to a chorus of boo's for diving.

Had to get treatment, blood (I think) cleaned and bandage on... still got boo'd. :greengrin

Paul Hartley the year Hearts qualified?

Edit: or indeed with Celtic.

Not so sure he did, played in the old UEFA cup definitely.

Van Persie got sent off for a challenge on him at Highbury. I’ve no idea what the challenge was though or if it may have been the one you’re referring to that lead to the sending off. Arsenal scored a last minute winner to win 2-1 :agree:
