The 25 year-old striker has been out of action since February with a knee injury and makes his first appearance for the First Team since undergoing surgery.
He’ll spearhead an attacking trident, flanked by forwards Élie Youan and Harry McKirdy.
For Englishman McKirdy, it’ll be his first start at Easter Road following his summer transfer from Swindon Town.
Also in the Hibs XI is Will Fish, with the loanee making his first start for the Hibees. He partners Rocky Bushiri in the middle of the Hibernian defence, while Chris Cadden, Demetri Mitchell and Lewis Stevenson also start.
A number of Academy players have been named on the bench, with Murray Aiken, Murray Johnson, Jacob Blaney, Oscar MacIntyre and Kanayo Megwa all featuring.
