#5 The restored Harp
Despite being one of the most successful Scottish clubs, Hibernian had to endure a 114-year-long wait to lift the Scottish Cup.

They played in 10 finals since 1902 and lost each of them before finally winning in 2016 against Rangers.
Apparently, a Gypsy (again) woman placed a curse on the club. During the renovation works in the 1950s, a harp crest – which symbolised the club’s founding Irish roots – was removed from the South Stand and wasn’t restored after the works were over.
During the 2015-16, the club’s badge, which includes the harp, was installed on the façade of the West Stand – and eight months later, Hibernian won the Scottish Cup.
