Hibs Looking Ahead

C:WindowsTempphpC99B.tmpHibs are looking to things off the field ahead of meeting the winners of the Premiership play off games between Rangers and Queen of the South. Long-serving administrator Garry O’Hagan has announced he is leaving Easter Road following a restructure of the club management. O'Hagan has been with the Leith side for 17 years both as club secretary and operations director, and during that time has played a pivotal role in some key developments - in particular the creation of the training centre in East Lothian and the redevelopment of Easter Road Stadium.

Hibs chairman Rod Petrie said: “Garry has played an important part in creating the infrastructure which is of so much benefit to the club today, and in addition to that his role as club secretary saw him play a vital role in supporting all of our football operations. Garry was a familiar figure to supporters on a matchday, and has been a well-liked and respected figure. Everyone at the club wishes Garry well for the future, and he is welcome back at Easter Road Stadium at any time."

O’Hagan said: "I have enjoyed my time with Hibernian immensely. It’s been a great honour and privilege to serve the club and its supporters for the last 17 years. We face a busy end to the season with the play-offs and hosting the Scotland match so I felt that it was best that we communicate things now so that the focus from here in can be on the football still to be played. I'd like to thank all of my colleagues at the club for their support and hard work during my time with the club. I wish the club, board, manager, players, staff and of course the supporters every success."
