Why is the match being played on Wednesday with an early kick-off?
Extract from Hibernian FC's website:
The game will take place on the Wednesday due to Hearts’ progression into the same round of the competition. When two sides from the same city both progress - and have both been drawn at home in the first leg - UEFA use last season’s league table to decide who plays on the Thursday.
The match is also taking place at 5.45pm as UEFA do not allow UEFA Europa Conference League games to take place at the same time as UEFA Champions League games. 5.45pm was the latest kick-off time the Club could attain following UEFA regulations.
