Hibernian ban fan group for three games following disorder

Hibernian have issued a three-match ban to their Block Seven supporter group following scenes of disorder during last Saturday's Scottish Premiership fixture away to Dundee United. Footage showed fans clashing with police and stewards in the away section at Tannadice.

The club confirmed the sanction, which was discussed with the SPFL, will cover the upcoming fixtures against Falkirk and Celtic at Easter Road, as well as the trip to St Mirren. This follows a previous one-match ban earlier in the current season.

In an official statement, the club emphasized that the safety of attendees is a top priority. "No-one should feel unsafe or uncomfortable when supporting Hibernian and behaviour that puts others at risk is unacceptable," the statement read.

The club's internal investigation into the events is ongoing as they work alongside Police Scotland and Dundee United. Further individual or collective sanctions remain a possibility once the process is concluded.
