    Dunno, but if we don't get Linfield I'll not be going.
    It was a breeze for Celtic fans

    Hibs to remain at home for Europa League preparations

    Hibs will prepare for their Europa League adventure at their East Mains training base rather than travel abroad, the Evening News has learned. Neil Lennon’s players will kick off their season in the first qualifying round of the competition – the first leg being on July 12 – and will discover their opponents when the draw is made in Nyon on June 19, a few days after they report back to work. The Easter Road club qualified thanks to Celtic winning the Scottish Cup, their fourth-place finish in the Premiership proving to be good enough, but their pre-season plans had always centred on a “staycation” rather than venturing further afield – the routine they followed last summer before they returned to the top flight after a three-year absence. With their £5 million centre on the outskirts of Ormiston at their disposal and Scotland enjoying, hopefully, the best weather of the year at that time club officials see little point in going to the expense of travelling abroad only to enjoy similar facilities. The shortness of the close-season has also been another factor with the Betfred Cup group stages kicking off on July 14 although Hibs will now not enter that competition until August 18.

    Any trip would, they say, eat into what is a vital period with three days on the training ground likely to be lost – two in travelling to and from any intended destination while another would probably be needed to in give the players a “recovery” day on their return. Instead, Hibs will probably aim to finance some warm-weather training during the Premiership’s winter shutdown. A schedule of friendlies to bring Lennon’s players up to speed is also in the process of being organised with the visit of Tony Mowbray’s Blackburn Rovers, newly promoted to the English Championship, for Paul Hanlon’s Testimonial Match on Saturday, July 8, offering a final chance to fine-tune the squad ahead of that European tie.
    Thank you for cutting and pasting instead of forcing me open the link on the abominable Scotsman publications

    give us a break, you being serious? is it the ladies team/ much rather we did Bristol(either) , Cheltenham or any near Glousc, or near the forest of dean area . personal point of view mind as my son is down in South East Wales.

    Oi you,,,,, Nowt wrong with Linlithgow for a pre season friendly!

    Will probably be the under 20s that we send through tho.

    Thank fu.. I think its also weird. Why would we want to go abroad when we have some of the best facilities in Scotland. Defeats the purpose.

    Away to Stenhousemuir, Falkirk, East Stirlingshire, Stirling or Alloa would be great.

    Slight twist here as if Linlithgow stay junior they are not permitted to play before 1st of July (old junior rules unless testimonial) but now they have meeting early June to discuss if they will move to East of Scotland league which will mean a step forward for them. Should be a big crowd there.

    Hibernian will face Linlithgow Rose, Berwick Rangers and Blackburn Rovers this pre-season.
    The first match for Neil Lennon’s side will be against Junior outfit Linlithgow Rose at Prestonfield on Saturday 30 June at 3pm. The SJFA East Superleague team finished second in their division last season and have won the Junior Cup four times.
    Entry to the game will be £6 for adults and £3 for concessions, with full matchday arrangements to be announced in due course.
    On Wednesday 4 July Hibernian will make the short journey over the border to face Berwick Rangers at Shielfield Park in our second match of pre-season, with a kick-off of 7:45pm.
    It will be the fifth pre-season in a row the two sides have met, with the run stretching back to 2014. Matchday arrangements will be confirmed in the near future.
    As previously announced, Paul Hanlon has been awarded a testimonial against Blackburn Rovers, which will be played on Sunday 8 July at Easter Road Stadium, kicking off at 3pm.
    These games act as a warm-up to the Club’s first match of the season, which will be in the UEFA Europa League First Qualifying Round First Leg on Thursday 12 July, with the draw taking place on Tuesday 19 June.

    5, Bar 1807 (used to be the "Hole") fullof women drinking wine, you cant walk in and order at the bar, its waitress service.
    6. Linlithgow Tap (used to be the Footies) decent boozer with circular island bar and good choice of drinks.

    I just remember walking through the cage to get into the away end, then stepping onto a terrace (no complaints there) that still had the high perimeter fence at the front! Then trying to swap a scarf with a local was challenging to say the least! Good trip though.
    Here's a couple of photos from the Glentoran game, including the cage, it's the billboard on the terracing that sticks in my heid.

    I suppose no news on any more friendlies?

    I’m guessing Europe should take up most of our playing time.
