Hibs to host NHS staff as part of thank you campaign as they announce date of fixture

Hibs have announced they will host NHS staff as part of their 'Thank You' campaign during their clash with Dundee in November.

The Easter Road side proudly wore 'Thank You NHS' on their shirts last season instead of a main sponsor as they praised them for their efforts during the Covid-19 pandemic.

And they had already decided they would welcome staff to the club as a thank you once Easter Road was back opened to full capacity.

Now Hibs have announced it will take place during the Premiership clash with Dundee on November 20.

They say they will be giving away hundreds of tickets to NHS Lothian staff and those eligible will be notified soon.

Hibs head of marketing Greg McEwan said: “We are excited to welcome hundreds of NHS workers healthcare workers to Easter Road now we are back at full capacity and it is safe to do so.

“Our Thank You NHS campaign may have ended last season, as far as the messaging on our shirt, but our commitment to celebrate health care and front line workers is never ending.

“We are eternally grateful to the efforts of all those who have helped fight the pandemic. And as a community-orientated club we are delighted to offer free tickets to NHS Lothian staff so those who have worked so hard to fight the pandemic can enjoy a game with us.

“Nearer to the time, we will announce further ways our fans can thank NHS staff health care and front line workers both individually or collectively. We want to make the game against Dundee a special and unique occasion and once that shows how truly thankful we are for all the NHS heroes."
