Last updated : 07 June 2007 By Steve Forbes
Hibs boss John Collins confirmed to the official club website - www.hibernianfc.co.uk - that the Hibees will head to Austria as part of the club's pre-season training program.
The cabbage have already set up two home friendlies against English premiership sides Bolton Wanderers and Middlesbrough.
It has now been confirmed that Hibs will head to an Austrian training centre as part of the build up to the SPL kick off. Collins will also take fitness coach Roger Propos with them to take the team through its paces.
Propos has worked with Fulham, Marseilles as well as the Moroccan and Ivory Coast national teams.
So far there has been NO friendly games confirmed for the trip.
Hibs boss Collins told the OFFICIAL club website:"We are off to Austria in the first week of July to a superb training complex. It is really first-class, and has been used by a number of Premiership Clubs over the years.
"We will also be working with Roger Propos, who is one of the very best physical coaches I have encountered. Roger has worked with Marseilles as well as the Ivory Coast and Moroccan national teams. He will work with us on our pre-season programme, and the players will benefit from him. Amongst our pre-season fixtures are two at Easter Road against high quality opposition from the Premiership , and that should certainly whet the appetite."
