Hibs learn new fixture date for Ross County fixture as SPFL agree to Easter Road request

Hibs' clash with Ross County next month in the Premiership has been moved forward a day from November 9th to the 8th.

This is at the request of both clubs as the Hibees build towards November's World Cup break, where they will be out of action for a month while the tournament takes place in Qatar. Martin Boyle is a near certainty to head out with Australia alongside former Easter Road striker Jason Cummings pushing for a place.

It was only last week that manager Lee Johnson guided his side to victory over the Staggies, who were thrashed 5-0 by Hibs' weekend opponents Motherwell on Tuesday. Ryan Porteous and Boyle goals sealed three points and sets the Hibees up nicely for a crack at the Steelmen this Saturday. Kick-off for the rearranged fixture in Edinburgh is still 7:45pm and it will be the home side's final game in the city pre-break.
