Rice to watch Hibs opponents
Hibernian assistant manager Brian Rice will watch Maribor in action at the weekend after the Slovenian outfit booked a Europa League clash with the Edinburgh side.
Maribor beat Hungarians Videoton 2-0 on Thursday night to go through to the third qualifying round with a 3-1 aggregate victory.
Maribor will have home advantage in next Thursday's first leg, with the return at Easter Road on August 5.
Hibs boss John Hughes watched Thursday's match on television at his side`s Dutch training camp and Rice will see Maribor in person when they face Rudar in their second league match - their first resulted in a 5-0 win over Triglav Kranj.
Hughes told Hibernian TV: "Maribor will play their first league game on Sunday, so Brian Rice will stay over there and watch them again.
"There will be no stone left unturned in order to give my players all the information that we can."
