The Hibs’ squad will head for Estepona in Spain tomorrow to
enjoy a warm-weather winter training camp to step up preparations for the
second half of the season with Dundee United first up after the break in the
William Hill Scottish Cup.
The players will be put through their paces before rounding
off the week with a friendly match on Friday against Dutch side Willem II, who
currently sit fourth in the Eredivisie and feature former Hibs’ player Miquel Nelom in their ranks.
The two teams met once before during our Portuguese winter
training camp back in January 2018.
The latest head to head will be open to supporters at the
Ayala Polo Club sports complex – with full details to follow for the match.
The club will provide updates on Twitter, with Hibs TV
subscribers able to watch the match back in full afterwards.
Head Coach Jack Ross said: “As ever, there were a lot of
games over the festive period so time on the training pitch is naturally
limited.
“So we’re grateful for the opportunity to get the squad away
so they can put in the graft in favourable weather conditions.
“We are fully focused on our first game back against Dundee
United in the Scottish Cup, ahead of what promises to be an exciting conclusion
to the campaign.
“There is a lot for us still to achieve this season and the
work the boys put in in Spain will only help get us in the best possible
condition to do that.”
