    Owen Elding F Hibs b.2006

    I don't know if he's technically eligible yet, but he's going to be and has been thrown in for his Hibs debut against Rangers so he may as well have his own thread!

    Two months on and Hibs fans reckon they have unearthed a massive talent in Elding. They're already at the stage of hoping they can at least get one full season out of him before they sell him on for a sizeable fee.

    He was player of the match today ahead of former Borussia Dortmund player Felix Passlack.

    If he’s lived here since he was six, why wouldn’t he be eligible? Surely he has Irish citizenship?
    Isn’t it exactly the same as Ogbene? Moved here as a young kid

    He is eligible, there's no question there, just taking time to receive his passport

    He doesn't currently have Irish citizenship. That's why he hasn't been in the under 21 squad to date. Until he gets Irish citizenship he is British only and therefore ineligible.
