Lewis Stevenson has targeted European Football, cup finals and wins over Hearts in the new campaign.
The Hibs veteran knows finishing in the bottom six is not good enough for the Easter Road side and they must bounce back this season. Back-to-back defeats to Hearts last term ended hopes of a Scottish Cup Final appearance and making the top six.
Shaun Maloney was axed following a poor run of results with the final two derby defeats bringing the ex-Celtic midfielder's four month stint in the hotseat to an end. Lee Johnson has since arrived at the club and with pre-season training back and preparations underway for the new season, Stevenson has outlined his hopes including scalps over Celtic and Rangers.

Speaking to Hibs' official website, he said: “For a club like Hibs, it’s not good enough to be in the bottom six.
"It was a strange season as we were so close to a cup final, so close to winning a cup and so close to achieving the top six as well.
"These little margins can make a massive difference, especially in this league where there’s not much between the teams.
“This season we want to get European football, we want a good run in the cup by getting one step further than we did last year. We want to achieve some big derby wins and wins against the Old Firm are always a highlight.

"I’m getting to the later stages of my career, and I want to make the most of it. I’ve been enjoying it as much as I ever have, and I’ve got nothing to lose now so I’ll give it everything I’ve got.”
On Johnson's arrival and the start to life under his new boss, he added: "It seems really positive, and it's been really good to get to work.
"When a new manager comes in you have to be yourself, you can’t change your ways.
"We need to stick together as a team and give it everything we’ve got, and it will stand us in good stead.”
