HIBS have confirmed the dates for their re-arranged Premiership games with Ross County and Livingston.

The Easter Road club have been decimated by a Covid outbreak among the first team and development squads. 

Chief executive Ben Kensell revealed yesterday that they currently only have eight fit players over the permitted age of 18.

A total of 15 players have tested positive for the virus, with a further four forced to self-isolate due to their vaccination status after being deemed close contacts.

Member of the coaching staff have also been sent home to isolate, with the Hibs Training Centre buildings officially close until Monday.

Saturday's game with County was postponed with just four hours to go until kick-off after the initial outbreak was confirmed. 

The SPFL insisted the game be played on Wednesday, November 3 instead - much to the anger of the Hibees.

However, on Tuesday, Hibs announced a further lot of positive cases, meaning the match had to be cancelled once more, along with this weekend's game with Livingston. 

These games have now been officially rescheduled though by the SPFL. 

A statement from Hibs reads: "The games were due to take place on Wednesday 3 November and Saturday 6 November respectively but were postponed due to a number of positive Covid tests.

"Following discussions with the SPFL and the clubs, we can now confirm both fixtures.

"Firstly, our trip to Dingwall to face Ross County will take place on Wednesday 24 November and kick-off at 7.45pm.

"That means the game will sit between our Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Rangers and our away game at St Johnstone.

"Secondly, we will travel to Livingston on Wednesday 8 December in a 7.45pm kick-off at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

"That fixture will take place between our home game against Motherwell and our away trip to St. Mirren."
