Hibs have announced a slight change to their pre-season tour of Holland this summer.

The Hibees had been due to play Eredivisie new boys De Graafschap on Sunday 18th July 2010.

This fixture has been cancelled and replaced with a game against NEC Nijmegen, on Monday 19th July 2010, at Herpinia, Kamp Holland 1, Herpen
with a 7pm kick off (local time).

Nijmegen finished 13 in the Eredivisie last season, and will be tough opposition for the Hibees, but ideal ahead of the clubs Europa League adventure.

NEC Nijmegen played in the Uefa Cup during the 2008/09 season, one in which they qualified from their group, one that included Tottenham Hotspur, Spartak Moscow, Udinese and Dinamo Zagreb.

Only to be eliminated in the next round by German giants Hamburg.
