We’re pleased to announce we will visit Easter Road on Tuesday, July 13 to play Hibernian in a pre-season friendly. The match will kick off at 6pm. 

The game against the Scottish Cup finalists comes a few days before our already confirmed pre-season fixture against Rangers on Saturday, July 17 and forms part of a training camp for our men’s first-team squad in Edinburgh. The training camp will run from Monday, July 12 through to the Rangers game. 

 

Mikel Arteta said: “We’re pleased to confirm our second game in Scotland as part of a week-long training camp that will help us prepare for the 2021/22 season. 

"The matches against Hibs and Rangers will be good tests for us and we’re looking forward to playing against two strong opponents. Pre-season is an important time for the squad and we’re delighted to have this organised early so we can get the most out of the two matches and the training camp.”  

 

Due to current restrictions relating to the coronavirus pandemic, away fans will not be able to attend the matches against Hibs and Rangers. More information, including how our supporters can watch the games live will be released in due course.
