Montgomery takes charge of the Hibees for the first time since he was appointed Head Coach and has made two changes from the side that beat Aberdeen last time out.

David Marshall starts in goal behind Lewis Miller, Will Fish, Lewis Stevenson and Rocky Bushiri who comes into the starting XI.

Joe Newell will captain Hibs this afternoon with Paul Hanlon named on the bench. Joe partners Jimmy Jeggo in midfield with Martin Boyle and Elie Youan on the flanks.

Christian Doidge and Dylan Vente will lead the lines for the Hibees this afternoon.

On the bench, Montgomery has plenty of options to choose from with Hanlon, Adam Le Fondre and Josh Campbell all among the substitutes. Jordan Obita and Dylan Levitt also return to the matchday squad after recovering from injuries.

Jair Tavares is also back in the matchday squad for the first time since April, 2023.
