Hibs have arranged two more bounce games against Premiership rivals in preparation for the forthcoming campaign.

Jack Ross’s men drew 1-1 draw with St Mirren at the club’s training centre behind closed doors at last week with Jamie Gullan scoring for Hibs.

Ross changed the entire starting XI at half time to give every player 45-minutes of action.

New signing Drey Wright took part but neither Kevin Nisbet and Alex Gogic were involved although both completed a training session to build up their fitness.

The players will travel to Perth on Wednesday for a midweek meeting with St Johnstone before taking on Ross County back at  East Mains on Saturday.

Both matches will be played strictly behind closed doors, with no supporters permitted to attend.

Hibs would be keen to arrange one further bounce game ahead of the opening SPFL fixture against Kilmarnock at Easter Road on Saturday, August 1 but nothing has been agreed so far.
