Hibs face relegation playoff to stay among Scottish elite

Hibs will face the winner of the Championship playoff in a two-legged tie to avoid relegation.

Managed by Terry Butcher, the Edinburgh club were seventh in the 12-team table in November at the time of the former England international's appointment but have endured a torrid time since.

Hibs are without a win in their last 13 league matches dating back to Feb. 15.

Relegation would cap a miserable season for football in Edinburgh with rivals Hearts, who suffered a 15-point deduction after entering administration in January, already relegated to the second tier.
