Are you in? Hibernian manager Mixu Paateleinen became the latest figure to back Edinburgh Rugby Club’s season ticket drive while visiting The Castle to promote his team’s pre-season friendly match against Barcelona on Thursday, 24 July (kick off 7.45pm).
The imminent arrival of Thierry Henry’s Barcelona in EH12 will precede the cream of Europe’s rugby talent heading to Murrayfield for the Heineken Cup – London Wasps captained by England skipper Phil Vickery, Leinster captained by Ireland skipper Brian O’Driscoll and Castres captained by France skipper Lionel Nallet.
Top-class sporting action will be taking place in one of the greatest stadiums in the world, so why not warm-up for the start of the new rugby season by sampling some round-ball action?
Speaking to the Hibernian ezine, Paateleinen said: “Barcelona is one of the best teams in the world, with some of the best players in the world, and we are playing in a fantastic venue like Murrayfield, so it is a game that everybody is looking forward to.”
