Players and staff who accepted wage deferrals at Hibernian during the summer will have their first repayments made as part of their December wage packets, according to reports.
The Easter Road side were among a number of clubs forced into tough financial decisions following the curtailment of last season due to the coronavirus pandemic earlier this year.
A wage deferral scheme was set up alongside a furlough programme that saw the club ask those with roles on and off the pitch to accept temporary salary reductions of between 20 and 50 per cent.
It is understood that those who took part in the deferral scheme were promised the outstanding wages would be delivered in two payments.
The first of those is set to come this month, according to The Scotsman, with a second payment due in the summer.
Several staff members at Easter Road were made redundant as part of cost cutting measures, while others agreed to mutually terminate their deals.
Meanwhile, Jack Ross has added former Sunderland colleague Euan Fotheringham to the backroom staff at Easter Road having previously worked with the performance analyst at St Mirren.
Fotheringham will join the recruitment and analysis department at East Mains after previously forming part of Ross's off-field team at the Stadium of Light.
He becomes the third member of Ross's former Black Cats staff to link up with the Leith outfit after assistant John Potter and goalkeeping coach Craig Samson.
The Hibs boss has made use of the injured members of his squad as 'eyes in the stand' so far this season, with the likes of Scott Allan, Paul Hanlon and Stephen McGinn all taking turns to deliver their analysis of proceedings on the pitch from their position higher up.
Speaking to the Newcastle Chronicle in January 2019, Ross previously highlighted the importance of having video analysis available, adding: “You have to identify the key information, and then it’s about how you get it across. That will separate the average from the good and the good from the great. It’s something I try to focus on – how I’m able to condense information and get it across to my players.
“It’s not just footballers, with anyone you probably have a ten or 15-minute window to get information across. Beyond that, you’re going to lose people.
“It’s about getting the information across, and then hammering it in all the time, whether it’s from my voice, written information or something they’re watching on a screen.”
