Current head coach David Gray scored in Copenhagen when Hibs last faced Brondby

Hibs will host Brondby in a friendly this summer, 10 years on from the clubs' Europa League meeting.

David Gray's side welcome the Danes to Easter Road on Saturday 18 July (13:00 BST kick-off).

Hibs begin their European campaign five days later, with the first leg of their second-round Conference League qualifier on 23 July.

Former Nottingham Forest and Leicester boss Steve Cooper was sacked by Brondby last month after the club missed out on European football with a fourth-place finish in the Danish Superliga.

Brondby beat a Hibs team, fresh from winning the Scottish Cup and featuring John McGinn and current boss Gray, on penalties following a 1-1 draw when the sides met in Europa League qualifying a decade ago.
