Ryan Porteous is back in the side at the heart of defence. The centre back missed last weekend's derby defeat due to suspension but is available to play in the cup.
Porteous will start alongside Paul McGinn who returns to the starting XI for the first time since early February.
Hibernian veteran Lewis Stevenson is involved from the start ahead of Josh Doig who is on the bench.
The other two changes are in the forward areas with Ewan Henderson making his first start since our Scottish Cup Quarter-Final win at Motherwell. Ewan replaces Drey Wright who limped off injured at Tynecastle and has not recovered in time.
Ewan will slot into midfield behind James Scott who starts upfront. Scott is making his first start for the Hibees since September 2021.
Norwegian teenager Elias Melkersen is named on the bench alongside attacking threats Chris Mueller and Sylvester Jasper.
Rocky Bushiri has recovered from a knock and is named amongst the substitutes.
Unfortunately, the Hibees will be without Drey Wright, Christian Doidge, Kyle Magennis, Demetri Mitchell, Darren McGregor and Kevin Nisbet who all miss out through injury.
