Rudi Molotnikov, a Scottish footballer born on the 23rd of May 2006, has made a name for himself as a central attacking midfielder for Hibernian, primarily playing in the Scottish Premiership. Standing at a handy 5ft 10in (1.79m) and weighing in at 10st 5lb (66kg), Molotnikov offers a solid presence in the middle of the park, sporting the number 35 jersey.
Having joined Hibernian in July 2021, Molotnikov first made waves in his debut season, the 2023 - 2024 season, when he found himself part of the first team on three separate occasions in league matches. His participation didn't wane in the current season of 2024 - 2025 with Molotnikov stepping up for first-team action no less than 11 times in the league.
However, the year 2024 also saw Molotnikov test the waters of lower league football, transferring on loan to Stirling Albion in Scotland's League Two in February 2024. Yet, his journey with the Binos was short-lived, as he returned to Hibs, his parent club in the Premiership, in June 2024.
Proving himself to be more than capable, Molotnikov kept his momentum going strong in both the League Cup 2024 - 2025 and the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Hibernian. His scoring prowess shone through, with two goals from four starts and one substitute appearance in the League Cup, along with an impressive goal from a single start in the Scottish Cup.
Despite his young age, Rudi Molotnikov continues to demonstrate his potential, holding the promise for an exciting future in Scottish football.
