Hibs face a hectic schedule in their quest for promotion, with a potential seven game in just over three weeks.

By failing to clinch second place, Hibs now enter the play-offs at the quarter-final stage and travel to Kirkcaldy on Wednesday night to face in-form Raith Rovers.

The second leg will take place next Saturday at Easter Road with a 12.30 kick off.

Despite BT Sport having the right to show these games, neither will be on TV.

The TV company further annoyed supporters by insisting that the semi-finals are brought forward to Tuesday 1oth May and Friday 13th May, leaving the winners of the quarter final with only three days recovery time instead of four.

Should Hibs progress, they will also have to play at home in the lead up to the Scottish Cup final on 21st May then away from home a few days later.

Fixture details have now been confirmed for the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Ladbrokes Premiership play-offs.
