    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.

    I'd presume we will be arranging more than just these 3 games before the first Europa League game.

    With how much the starting line ups rotate in these kind of games you'd be lucky if our first 11 get a game and a half in pre-season before playing potentially a half decent side mid-way through their season in the EL. Maybe away to Dunfermline or the likes to come.

    When tho? The Europa game is 4 days after the Blackburn game.

    Doubt it. Don’t see where they’d fit it in, in the build up to the first Europa game.

    Would think everybody would get 45 minutes at Linlithgow. Same again at Berwick. Then the starting lineup iagainst Blackburn will be close to the team for the European tie.

    Hopeafully we get one of the absolute minnows in Europe and that effectively forms part of pre season.

    I’d assume they’d have mentioned them if there were to be more games.

    We’ll take care of any part-time teams from Luxembourg or Malta no bother

    Sounds like we will be taking a strong squad to the Linlithgow Rose game rather than a Hibs XI that we expected.

    pub info

    Starting from the train station you have,
    1. The Star, has outside drinking area.
    2. Platform 3 has great real ales but quite small.
    3. The Post Office is big and cheapish, a belhaven pub with pub grub and big screens.
    4. The 4 Marys another Belhaven pub plenty real bear/lagers to choose from
    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.
    7. The Crown is probably the most popular local in town but quite wee, good service and plenty choices of drinks.
    8. The Swan, decent boozer, nowt special but okay, Has a beer garden too
    9, The Kelpies, another smallish bar but ok
    10, The Black Bitch lounge, bar and beer garden, good boozer
    11 West Port hotel, more hotelish than pub but has lounge and food and big sports bar(when open)
    12 Rugby Club big and cheap plenty parking (may have a rugby game on tho)
    13 Lastly the Rose club function room will seat 200, seperate lounge and games room with 2 pool tables, decent prices attached to the Rose ground. Parking for about 50 cars on match days.

    Plenty on street parking nearby and the Academy has spaces for about 100 cars if nothing on at the school.

    Hope this helps.

    PS station is less that 1 mile from ground

    Would be good, but you can't draw teams from your own nation until very deep in the competition.

    I am delighted for you and your branch Bri, but somewhat underwhelmed. will the full team be playing/ what colours will Lithgae wear If I go, I'd probably head to the Bitch. good wee pub and might bump into my Cuz there (EX Lithgow manager) and it is a fine wee pub. I'd assume our boys are given instructions to wear shinguards winning the Scottish Junior Cup does not mean you play nice fitba'. Probably get a better "match" than Gala Fairydean who are usually on the pre season caird.

    According to google 3500 with 301 seats.

    Linlithgow may have to sell tickets for this one?

    2 pubs called the star? Must get confusing when arranging meet ups.
