Hibs - Post split SPL fixtures announced

Hibs have tonight learned their fate as they fight to secure European football at Easter Road next season.

Aberdeen beat Falkirk 2-1 at Pittodrie tonight to end the Bairns hopes of a first SPL top six finish.

The SPL have announced the dates for the last five games of the season and the Hibees will only be at home twice and only ONE game will be on a Saturday.

First up is a THIRD trip to Tannadice to face Dundee Utd on Sunday 20 April. The game will be screened live on Setanta at 2pm.

Next will be a trip to Pittodrie to face Aberdeen on Saturday 26 April, incredibly it's the ONLY Saturday 3pm kick off that the Hibees will face for the entire post-split programme!

The Hibees third game will be against champions elect Rangers at Easter Road on Sunday May 4th, with a 2pm kick off, also live on Setanta.

Mixu Paatelainen's side then travel to Parkhead to face Celtic, again this will be live on Setanta, on Sunday 11th May, with a 12.30pm kick off.

Hibs last game of the season will be against fellow Uefa Cup hopeful's Motherwell at Easter Road on Sunday 18th May.

The game will kick off at 1.30pm and could decide who goes on to play in Europe next season.

Hibernian-Mad.co.uk can EXCLUSIVLEY reveal, that unlike some vicious rumours doing the rounds, the Motherwell game will be played on GRASS and not the local beach.

We can ALSO reveal that there aint no sign of Kaunas B on the fixture list, why is that??;-)
