Hibs’ starman Martin Boyle will be representing the club in ‘Ultimate Quaran-Team’ tomorrow at 12pm.
128 clubs from across the world have signed up to take part in the FIFA 20 tournament devised by Leyton Orient – designed to raise money for struggling EFL clubs, the governing body’s chosen charity, MIND, and the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fundraiser by the World Health Organisation.
Hibernian – represented by Boyle – have been drawn against Millwall, who will be steered by well-known YouTuber Josh Zerker.

Boyle said: “Like the rest of the boys I am missing my football, so this seemed like a good way to let off a bit of steam.
“I signed up before I realised who I was up against – someone who plays these games for a living and has about 1.5 million more Twitter followers than me, for starters!
“I’ll definitely be the underdog, but I’ll do my best for Hibs. It’s for a good cause and it’ll hopefully give a few people a laugh at what’s a difficult time just now for all of us.
“I’m going to get in a bit of practise with Marvin Bartley and Simon Murray. What could possibly go wrong?”
