Hibs record impressive early season ticket sales as head coach Jack Ross praises fans' 'loyalty' in message

Hibs have sold more than 1,000 season tickets for next season, only three days after going on sale.

The number is made more impressive considering the uncertainty regarding football in Scotland with the current campaign yet to be concluded and whether there will be any knock-on effect for the 2020/2021 season.

The club launched their packages on Friday with an emotional message from CEO Leeann Dempster and a video narrated by celebrity fan Dougray Scott.

In a post on the club’s website, Hibs said: “We never cease to be amazed by our supporters' devotion to Hibernian.”

It was accompanied by a message from head coach Jack Ross who praised the loyalty of supporters and urged fans to stay indoors and stay safe.

He said: "First of all, I hope everyone and their families are safe and well.

"Secondly, having been told that we've passed the 1000 mark for season ticket sales, I want to offer a huge thank you to everyone who has done so.

"It's an incredible show of loyalty and support already during what is a difficult time for everybody.

"That level of commitment from you, the supporters, is very much appreciated. Not just from myself, the players and staff - but by everyone at the football club.

"We're very much looking forward to repaying that loyalty with our performances on the pitch when we return to Easter Road. I look forward to seeing you all again then.

"In the meantime, look after yourselves and your families. Stay in and save lives."
