Ex-Arsenal stars Pires and Vieira to join Murray for Hibernian testimonial

Robert Pires has agreed to join former Arsenal teammate Patrick Vieira to play in a testimonial for Hibernian captain Ian Murray this weekend.

The former Rangers and Norwich City man is a lifelong Arsenal fan and was hoping some of the ex-Gunners could join him at Easter Road this Sunday to help celebrate his career.

Graeme Cadger, chairman of Murray's testimonial committee, confirmed that former France World Cup-winner Pires would be among the players taking part.

"We are delighted Robert has accepted our invitation and we look forward to welcoming him to Easter Road," he said.

All sponsorship and hospitality packages for Sunday are sold out. However a limited number of VIP Tickets are available for the Edinburgh Suite.

A free prize draw for all VIP ticket holders will be made on the day with the winner receiving a Hibs strip signed by Vieira, Pires and Murray.
