Hibs send message to fans who have travelled to Croatia for Rijeka match
Hibs have issued a message to supporters travelling to Croatia for the Rijeka game.
Some fans have travelled to see their team in action in the Conference League second-leg tie following the 1-1 draw at Easter Road.
However, the club have warned supporters that only Croat residents will be able to gain entry, while noting if some do get into the match they “risk ejection and put the club at risk of a UEFA fine".
A small band of fans were able to watch the club in action against Santa Coloma in Andorra in the previous round.
“All tickets will be checked prior to entry and any Hibernian fans who are not Croat residents will be turned away at the gate," Hibs said. “HNK Rijeka reserve the right to do this solely at their discretion.
