Montgomery has made three changes from the side that drew 2-2 against Kilmarnock last time out.

The first of those changes sees Jordan Obita come into the starting XI at left-back, alongside Lewis Miller, Will Fish and Rocky Bushiri in defence.

Jair Tavares will make his first start for the Hibees in over a year, with the midfielder’s last start coming in August 2022 against Livingston.

Joe Newell will captain the Hibees and starts in the middle of midfield alongside Jimmy Jeggo.

The final change is upfront, with Adam Le Fondre returning to the starting XI. Le Fondre has hit the ground running for the Hibees, scoring three times in five cinch Premiership matches so far this season.

On the bench, Montgomery has plenty of options to choose from with Christian Doidge, Elie Youan and Josh Campbell all among the substitutes.

Hibernian stalwarts Paul Hanlon and Lewis Stevenson are both on the bench alongside 16-year-old right-back, and Academy prospect, Rory Whittaker.
