Hibs get new date for Ross County clash as doubts cast on 2020/21 Scottish Cup

Hibs and Ross County have been handed a new date for last weekend’s postponed Scottish Premiership encounter.

Jack Ross will take his team north to Dingwall on Saturday March 13 – a weekend originally set aside for the 2020/21 Scottish Cup fifth-round ties.

The rearrangement casts further doubt on whether the tournament will be completed this year, with 12 second-round matches still to be played and rounds three and four suspended.

Hibs were handed a trip to Dumfries to face Queen of the South but with the competition in limbo as a result of Scottish football from League One down being suspended indefinitely, time is running out for the historic tournament to be completed.

Livingston’s home match against Hamilton Accies, postponed on February 10, has also been rescheduled for Saturday March 13.

Both matches will kick off at 3pm as standard, with Hibs travelling to face Livingston the following week.
