Hibs are waiting on a ‘significant’ sum of money after making a claim on their business interruption insurance policy.

The Easter Road side have already received a small payment from the policy to cover a loss of revenue due to no spectators being allowed into the stadium due to the pandemic.

Chairman and owner Ron Gordon said: “We have a very good insurance policy but getting money out of the insurance companies is a little trickier than you would think, but I think we have a very good claim.

“So, my feeling is we’re going to be reimbursed for a significant amount of our losses, but it’s trickling in, we got an initial payment maybe 10 days ago.

“But it’s a fraction, a tiny slither of our claim, so, obviously, operating the club without any game day revenues is a difficult thing.”
