Hibs season ticket numbers approach 10,000 as club pays tribute to 'a support who perseveres'

Hibs' season ticket sales are fast approaching 10,000 and the club say they are "humbled" by the backing of fans.

The Easter Road club have announced sales of 9600 season tickets with the early bird and seat release deadline later today (Friday).

Boss Jack Ross paid tribute to those who are supporting the club in such difficult circumstances.

In a video posted to Hibs' social media, he said: "Your ongoing support and loyalty is greatly appreciated by all of us at HTC and we look forward to seeing you all again soon."
