Eleven Hibs players were away on international duty during the break, with varying degrees of success.
There were goals Martin Boyle and Lewis Miller, and clean sheets for Rocky Bushiri and Murray Johnson.
Here’s how they fared.
Nectar Triantis, Lewis Miller and Martin Boyle – Australia
The trio were called up to represent the Socceroos for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Indonesia and China.
Miller and Boyle featured in both fixtures as Tony Popovic’s side ran out 5-1 victors against Indonesia and 2-0 winners over China. The Hibs duo both scored in the win over Indonesia.
Triantis didn’t earn his first cap for the Australian National Team, but it was a good experience for him to be involved with their senior set-up.
That means Boyle has now earned 31 caps, whilst Miller has 10.
The Socceroos sit second in their World Cup qualifying group with 13 points from eight games, seven points behind leaders Japan with two qualifiers to play.
Rocky Bushiri – DR Congo
Rocky Bushiri made his competitive debut for DR Congo this month, and won his second cap
The big, strong centre-half started in their 1-0 *win* against South Sudan – playing in the middle of the Leopards’ back three.
He was an unused substitute in their second qualifier as they beat Mauritania 2-0 away from home.
DR Congo currently top their group with 13 points from six games, they’re one point ahead of second-placed Senegal and third-placed Sudan
Nathan Moriah-Welsh – Guyana
Nathan Moriah-Welsh started both games for Guyana as they took on Guatemala in the Concacaf Gold Cup qualification preliminary round.
The central midfielder performed admirably in the first-leg as they won 3-2, however, they were beaten 2-0 in the second-leg, which meant they didn’t qualify for the group stage of the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup.
Moriah-Welsh currently has 24 caps for Guyana.
Alasana Manneh – The Gambia
Alasana Manneh earned his 19th cap for The Gambia during the March international break.
He was an unused substitute for their 3-3 draw with Kenya, but came on as a substitute in their 1-0 defeat to the Ivory Coast.
The Gambia currently sit fifth in their World Cup qualifying group with four points from six games.
Nohan Kenneh – Liberia
Nohan Kenneh – currently on loan at Ross County – spent the March break representing Liberia.
Liberia were beaten 1-0 by Tunisia before beating São Tomé and Príncipe 2-1. Kenneh started their second World Cup qualifier, earning his 15th cap.
The Lone Stars sit third in their group with 10 points from six games, they’re six points behind leaders Tunisia.
Murray Johnson – Scotland U21s
Murray Johnson earned his first cap for Scotland’s Under-21s this month.
The 20-year-old started for the young Scots as they beat the Republic of Ireland 2-0 in Spain.
Johnson wasn’t involved in their second-game, as Scot Gemmill’s side were beaten by Iceland 6-1.
Joseph McGrath & Rudi Molotnikov – Scotland U19s
Academy talents Joseph McGrath and Rudi Molotnikov both featured twice for Scotland’s Under-19s during the international break.
Neil MacFarlane’s side drew 1-1 with Spain before being beaten 4-1 by Poland.
Those were Joseph’s first U19 caps for Scotland, whilst Rudi Molotnikov – who also wore the captain’s armband – has now earned 14 caps at that age grade.
Lewis Gillie – Scotland U17s
Lewis Gillie, who made his Hibernian FC First Team debut earlier this year, received his first Scotland U17 call-up this month.
The young defender made his debut for Brian McLaughlin’s side coming off the bench in their wins over Romania and Liechtenstein.
The young Scots also drew with North Macedonia in their UEFA League B Round 2 matches.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter.
