Hibs’ captain Liam Craig (pictured) and vice-captain David Gray served up Christmas dinners for a homeless charity in Edinburgh on Monday.
Craig and Gray visited Streetwork in Holyrood Road and gave out tickets for Saturday’s match against Rangers at Easter Road (27 December, kick off 12.15pm).
Craig believes it is important for Hibernian to be at the core of the local community and that our players can help to make a difference.
Craig told the club website: “It was another beneficial experience – it’s the second year that I’ve attended.
“For a variety of reasons, there are a lot of people, who find themselves in this type of situation, so it’s important that we as a club try to help make a difference.
“Dave and I put on the Santa hats and served up some dinners – we got into the spirit of it all and everybody seemed to enjoy it.
“Hopefully the visit and the tickets we gave out have helped to brighten up some people’s Christmases.”
