An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (80.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mulligan.
Judged on this season alone, Mulligan graded 32 — a strong campaign that ranks top 28% of the 18 central midfielders in the Premiership, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.283 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 31 → 32). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, top 17% of the 18 central midfielders in the Premiership. At 23 Mulligan is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 11.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Hibernian finished 12th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 80.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 47.1, Mulligan carries the 3rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premiership of 18 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
