A statement from Hibs read: “The date of our cinch Premiership fixture against Ross County has been changed following a request from both clubs. The match was due to take place on Wednesday 1 February, 2023, but has been moved forward a day.

The fixture change means less time for the Hibees between the home game against Aberdeen on January 28 and the clash with the Staggies, but lengthens the gap between the Highlands trip and the visit to Paisley to face St Mirren on February 4. Malky Mackay’s side host Kilmarnock before welcoming Hibs and travel to face Rangers at Ibrox the weekend after.

Hibs won 2-0 on their last visit to the Global Energy Stadium thanks to goals from Ryan Porteous and Martin Boyle but strikes by George Harmon and Alex Iacovitti ensured victory by the same scoreline for the visitors in the last meeting between the two sides at Easter Road in November.

Ross County are currently propping up the Scottish top-flight table, a point behind Dundee United who defeated them 3-0 at Tannadice on Wednesday night.
