Odds on Hibernian to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership have drifted from 2/5 out to 5/6 with Betfred as four bookmakers ease their prices.
The odds on Hibernian to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership have drifted out from 2/5 to 4/5 with Skybet, and that move tells its own story after a flat afternoon on the road.
Four bookmakers have eased their odds, with 5/6 the best price available at Betfred.
Hibernian lost 1-0 away to Dundee United on 10 October 2026, with Daniel Bennie scoring the only goal.
The defeat was Marink Reedijk's first game in the dugout as Hibernian head coach.
The result left Hibernian 10th in the table on 7 points, with Dundee United now holding sixth.
This was supposed to be the start of something new. Hibernian appointed Marink Reedijk as first-team manager on 24 September 2026 following the departure of David Gray, and his first outing in the dugout ended in a flat 1-0 defeat at Tannadice. Daniel Bennie settled it in the 35th minute, turning in a Lyall Cameron cross, and Hibs never found a reply. The afternoon got messier late on when substitute Jacob Devaney was shown a straight red card after a VAR check in the 84th minute.
The bookmakers' reaction makes sense when you look at the log. Hibernian have failed to win their last five matches in the Premiership, and a side stuck on that kind of run cannot be priced like a team cruising into the top half. The defeat dropped them to 10th, while Dundee United climbed into sixth off the back of it. That is a direct rival for a top-half finish taking the points, and it explains why Hibernian to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership has gone from a short price to something much closer to a coin flip. The problem is clear enough: Hibs are not turning possession into goals in front of goal, and until that changes the drift has logic behind it.

Will Hibernian finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership?
Leaving aside Celtic and Rangers, who are priced as formalities, Hearts are the favourites at a best price of 1/50 with Betfred. Hibernian are second-shortest of the rest at 5/6 with Betfred, which tells you the bookmakers still rate them, just a lot less than they did a week ago. Hearts have earned their short price, sitting third in the table with a goal difference of +11. Hibs are on the other side of the line for now, and the gap to Dundee United in sixth is the number that matters most for the odds on Hibernian from here.
Celtic – 1/1000 with Bet Victor, priced as a formality.
Rangers – 1/1000 with Bet Victor, the same story.
Hearts – 1/50 with Betfred, third in the table and well placed.
Hibernian – 5/6 with Betfred, drifting after the Tannadice defeat.

What do Hibernian need to finish in the top 6 of the Scottish Premiership?
Reedijk did not hide from it afterwards. He admitted his squad has real "work to do" on their indecisiveness and their execution in the final third, which is the same weakness that cost them at Tannadice. He will also have to do it without Devaney, whose red card brings a domestic suspension. Hibs are back at home against Falkirk next, and that is a fixture they simply have to take something from before a tougher outing against Celtic. Our prediction: the drift is fair. A side without a win in their last five league games, struggling in front of goal, does not deserve to be odds-on with every bookmaker. If Reedijk finds a cutting edge quickly, the price will come back in. Until then, 5/6 with Betfred is about right for a team with plenty of work still to do.
