Nick Montgomery has made one change to his Hibernian FC side for this afternoon’s cinch Premiership match against St Johnstone.

Martin Boyle returns to the starting XI after a positive week on the training pitch. He comes in for Elie Youan who is on the bench today.

David Marshall starts in between the sticks with an unchanged back four consisting of Chris Cadden, Will Fish, Rocky Bushiri and Jordan Obita providing protection in front of him.

Joe Newell captains the side today with Nectar Triantis partnering him in midfield.

Martin Boyle’s return adds threat to the forward line as Myziane Maolida and Emiliano Marcondes keep their place in the team, supporting goal-scoring threat Adam Le Fondre who leads the line for the Hibees today.

Josh Campbell makes his return to the squad as he is named on Montgomery’s bench with Youan, Jair Tavares, Nathan Moriah-Welsh and Dylan Levitt capable of making an impact. Campbell could make his 100th Hibs appearance this afternoon.

There’s experience on the bench with the likes of Lewis Stevenson and Paul Hanlon being available, as Jojo Wollacott provides cover for David Marshall.
