That change comes at wing-back as PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year nominee Josh Doig returns to the starting XI. He replaces Chris Cadden who hasn’t recovered from his thigh injury in time for this one.
There are welcome returns to the matchday squad for Demetri Mitchell and Darren McGregor. The pair were back in training this week after recovering from their respective injuries. Demetri’s last appearances for the Hibees was at Arbroath in mid-February, whilst Daz is back in the squad for the first time since our Scottish Cup win at Motherwell.
David Gray is without Drey Wright, Christian Doidge, Kyle Magennis, Kevin Nisbet and Chris Cadden through injury, alongside the suspended Ryan Porteous.
