The first leg takes place tonight at the Aker Stadion in Molde and Kean has named a strong starting XI in what is a historic night for the Club. It will be the first time the wee Hibees have competed in the competition since the UYL began in 2013.
Murray Johnson will start in goal tonight – hoping to build on what has been an impressive campaign so far from the 17-year-old, having been named in the Scotland U19 Squad and made his first Senior appearance for Airdrieonians earlier this season.
Fellow Scotland U19 international, Jacob Blaney starts at the back alongside, Josh McCulloch and Kanayo Megwa who were all part of the U18 squad title-winning team last season.
Both MacIntyre brothers, Oscar and Jacob have been named in the starting line-up, along with current U18 squad members Owen Hastie and Rudi Molotnikov.
Murray Aiken starts in the middle of midfield and will Captain the Hibees this evening with Robbie Hamilton also in action from the start.
Josh O’Connor will lead the line for the Hibees this evening!
The match kicks off at 7pm local time, so 6pm back in the UK.
