The first change is in goal, with Kevin Dąbrowski starting ahead of David Marshall who misses out through sickness.
Josh Campbell also returns to the starting XI, with Darren McGregor named amongst the substitutes. Ryan Porteous will captain the Hibees this afternoon.
The final change sees Jair Tavares make his first start at Easter Road. The electric winger starred in our pre-season friendlies out in Portugal. He comes into the side in place of Chris Cadden, who is out with a knock.
There is some good news regarding Demetri Mitchell as he and Paul Hanlon returned to non-contact team training last week.
Alongside Cadden and Marshall, Johnson is without the injured Paul Hanlon, Kyle Magennis, Jake Doyle-Hayes, Lewis Stevenson, Demetri Mitchell, and Kevin Nisbet. Whilst the Club is still waiting for work permit approval for Élie Youan and Marijan Čabraja.
This has meant that youngsters Oscar MacIntyre and Robbie Hamilton are both on the bench.
As it's a pre-season friendly, there are expected to be numerous changes throughout the game.
