Season 1998–99 was a successful season for Hibernian F.C. as the club got promoted on their first attempt and achieved a record number of points, following their relegation from the Scottish Premier League the year prior.[2] There was disappointment in the cup competitions, however, as the club were beaten by Stirling Albion in the Scottish Cup, and were defeated convincingly 4–0 by St Johnstone in the League Cup. As a First Division club, Hibs would have entered the Scottish Challenge Cup, but the competition was not played during the 1998–99 season due to a lack of sponsorship.[3]
