Hibs reveal coronavirus case as star moves into self-isolation following positive test

Hibs have revealed one of their players has tested positive for coronavirsus.

The unnamed star is now self-isolating and has shown no symptoms of the killer virus.

He is said to have been infected over the weekend and has not been in contact with the rest of the squad since meaning there is no concern about the game against Hamilton at Easter Road on Saturday.

A statement on the club's website read: "Hibernian FC today confirmed that a player is socially isolating after contracting coronavirus.

"The player, who is showing no symptoms, tested positive after he came into contact with the virus at home over the weekend.

"He has not been inside the stadium or training centre since contracting the virus, and will be isolated for ten days."

Jack Ross' men sit third in the Scottish Premiership after a solid run of form, defeating rivals Aberdeen last weekend to move four points clear in the battle to be the game's third force.
