Hibs shut Easter Road doors for FC Edinburgh friendly as not enough tickets sold

Hibs have been forced to shut the doors on Easter Road for a friendly with FC Edinburgh as not enough tickets have been sold.

Alan Maybury's FC Edinburgh make the short trip to face their city counterparts on December 8, and it was expected to be open to supporters. However Hibs confirmed today that no fans will now be allowed in due to the poor ticket sales.

It's a bit of a red face for club officials and hardly ideal for Lee Johnson as he tries to get his side in shape for the resumption of the Premiership a week later when they go to Ibrox to face Rangers for what will be Michael Beale's first game in charge since taking over from Giovanni van Brocnkhorst.
