History of the Hibernian v Motherwell fixture

Hibernian prepare to entertain Motherwell at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Hibees are clearly on top, having won 69 and lost only 27 of the 129 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2009, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.
