Martin Boyle is determined to cap off his "crazy rollercoaster" journey with Hibernian by delivering one last magical moment—securing European football for the club. The 33-year-old forward steps onto the Easter Road pitch for the final time on Saturday, as David Gray's side aims to leapfrog Motherwell into fourth place, with the Steelmen currently holding a narrow one-point advantage.
A Scottish Cup hero with Hibs in 2016, Boyle reflects on his time at the club with immense pride and no regrets. "It's a little bit surreal," he admits. "The boys gave me a great send-off after training. I'm fully focused on the game—my kids are walking out with me, so hopefully I can enjoy that moment with them, put in a solid performance, and help secure a European spot."
Over the past 11 years—interrupted only by a brief stint in Saudi Arabia—Boyle has become synonymous with Hibs' spirit and passion. "It's been a crazy rollercoaster. Everyone knows what this club means to me. Full credit to everyone who stuck by me—managers, staff—it's been fantastic. I can't say a bad thing about the club. I've loved every moment, and I hope everyone can see I've given everything. Hopefully, I can go out with one more memorable moment."
As for what comes next, Boyle isn't looking too far ahead. His immediate focus is on representing Australia at the World Cup. "Not a clue," he laughs when asked about his future beyond Hibs. "I haven't even thought about it. My full focus is on ending the season on a high and then heading to the World Cup. I missed the last one through injury, so making the squad is everything to me right now."
For fans and fellow players alike, Boyle's final appearance at Easter Road promises to be an emotional farewell—one that could end with a European ticket and a lasting legacy of loyalty and heart.
