Hibs face winter hardship in SPL

WITH league bosses scheduling full midweek fixture cards during both January and February, SPL clubs who still have an interest in the Scottish Cup face at least seven games in just four weeks.

And, with Hibs still to face St Johnstone in their match postponed from 30 December, John Hughes' men could see their workload increased.

Saturday, 16 January: Dundee United v Hibs.

Saturday, 23 January: Hibs v Hamilton.

Wednesday, 27 January: Celtic v Hibs.

Saturday, 30 January: Hibs v St Mirren.

Saturday, February 6: Hibs v Edinburgh City/Montrose (Scottish Cup)

Wednesday, 10 February: Hibs v Aberdeen.

Sunday, 14 February: Rangers v Hibs.
