Hibs face anxious wait as Ross County Premiership clash subject to Friday pitch inspection

Hibernian face a waiting game to discover whether their Premiership clash with Ross County will beat the freeze after a pitch inspection was scheduled on Friday afternoon.

The Easter Road side are yet to travel to Dingwall for the Highland encounter and are awaiting the final call from officials, who are set to make sure conditions will be playable in time for kick off on Saturday.

Plummeting temperatures and heavy snow have already claimed two games in the Scottish Championship while Livingston’s midweek clash with Hamilton Accies fell foul of the weather when eight inches of snow landed on the Toni Macaroni Arena pitch overnight.

Dunfermline Athletic's home fixture against Dundee has already been called, as has the game between Raith Rovers and Ayr United.

County’s Highland rivals Inverness will discover whether their meeting with Greenock Morton will go ahead at 1:30pm on Friday.

Hibs are bidding to extend their winning run to four on the bounce with a win at the Global Energy Stadium after taking nine points from nine in their previous three games.

However, they have not won in their last three trips north and were held to a stalemate by The Staggies in Dingwall earlier this season.

John Hughes’ side took three points when the pair last locked horns at Easter Road, running out 2-0 winners in late December.

The pitch inspection will take place at 2pm.
