Turnbull won three league titles as a player with Hibs The funeral of Hibernian legend and former Aberdeen and Queen’s Park manager Eddie Turnbull is set to take place later on Monday.
Many former and current players are expected to pay their respects to the prolific striker, who died last month at the age of 88.
Turnbull was a key player in the Hibs “Famous Five” forward line.
The funeral service will take place in Edinburgh before the cortage heads past Easter Road.
Falkirk-born Turnbull, who died on 30 April, played for Hibs and later took up the mantle as manager.
It had already been announced that Hibs’ home match against Aberdeen on 14 May, the last of the season for both sides, is to be played in tribute to him.
Supporters will also be able to acknowledge the funeral cortege on Monday as it travels up the walkway behind Easter Road’s East Stand, where various tributes have been left by supporters.
During his career, Turnbull guided Aberdeen to the Scottish Cup in 1970 and won the League Cup with Hibs in 1972.
As a player, he made nine Scotland appearances and was part of the “Famous Five” Hibs forward line that won three Scottish League titles.
His daughter, Valerie Low, said: “The whole family has been humbled and very touched by the messages of condolence and support we have received from Hibernian supporters and supporters of other clubs since my father passed away.
“It is fitting that the next game at Easter Road is versus Aberdeen and we hope to see as many of dad’s friends and fans on the day as possible.”
