Following discussion with the tour representatives in Belgium, Hibernian would like to issue a correction to the matches to be played during the club's three-match trip.
Instead of Charleroi, Hibernian will be playing Lierse SK on Wednesday 18 July, kick off 7pm.
In addition to this, we are now in a position to confirm the venues for the matches and the kick-off times which are listed below. Our partners in Belgium would like to apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
18 July 2012 v Lierse SK at the Stadium Herentals, kick-off 7.00pm
21 July 2012 v OHV Leuven at the Den Dreef Stadium, Leuven, kick-off 7.00pm
22 July 2012 v Zeeland Select at the Sportcomplex, Vlissingen, kick-off 2.30pm.
Manager Pat Fenlon believes the matches will provide Hibernian with the perfect preparation for when the curtain rises on the 2012/13 Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League season.
Fenlon said: "The pre-season schedule is something different and gives us a change of scenery. Over the past couple of years, we've played a lot of Scottish clubs during pre-season, so a change will be good for the team.
"We've got plenty of games to prepare for which is ideal because we'll be aiming to introduce lots of new players for those matches. We will be well prepared for when the SPL season starts in August."
