Hibernian will open Easter Road for their supporters after the Edinburgh club were not given an away allocation for their match with Rangers next month.

The match will take place on Sunday October3 with a 3pm kick-off, but there will be no away fans inside Ibrox.

Hibs will now use their brand-new stadium screens to show the game live for season ticket holders at Easter Road.

Club CEO Ben Kensell said: “Firstly we were disappointed when we found out that our supporters won’t be able to travel to Ibrox early next month, but since that point we’ve been working tirelessly to find the best possible alternative for our supporters to watch the game.

“After looking at different options, we’re delighted that we can show the match live on our big screens at Easter Road.

“We want to bring all supporters together and to create a special match day experience for you all.

“The kiosks will be open, and if we can get fans in their numbers attending, I am certain we can create a good atmosphere to support Jack’s side together.”

Supporter Liaison Officer, Kieran Power, added: “Hibs fans have contacted me to share their frustrations and annoyance that they couldn't back the team at Ibrox. I share those thoughts.

“The club has been fantastic listening to supporter feelings and suggestions. Ben has backed the idea and made it a reality for a beam back at Easter Road to happen for supporters and now let’s come together.

“I'm glad the club pulled out all the stops to show the game live on our big screens, making the most of our new technology.”

Tickets will cost £5 to watch the match at Easter Road are on sale now.
