The side includes four changes from the side that lost to Hearts last time out. Two of those changes are at the back with Paul Hanlon coming back into the heart of defence alongside Will Fish.

Joe Newell returns from suspension and is straight back into the middle of midfield alongside new January signing, Jimmy Jeggo.

The final change sees Harry McKirdy awarded a place in the starting XI, making his third competitive start since he joined in the summer. McKirdy will lead the line alongside with Aiden McGeady and Élie Youan.

On the bench this afternoon, there are four Hibernian FC Academy youngsters. Murray Johnson is named as substitute goalkeeper, with Oscar MacIntyre, Josh O’Connor and Ethan Laidlaw all named among the substitutes.

Kevin Nisbet has scored seven goals in his last six league games and will start on the bench this afternoon.

Unfortunately, earlier this week it was announced that Rocky Bushiri will miss the next three months with an ankle injury. Mykola Kuharevich, Martin Boyle, Kyle Magennis and Jake Doyle-Hayes all miss out through injury.
