David Gray has named his side to face Celtic this afternoon in the Premier Sports Cup, which includes two changes from last weekend.

The first of those changes sees Rocky Bushiri come into the starting XI for the first time since mid-July. Rocky will start alongside Warren O’Hora and Marvin Ekpiteta in central defence with Lewis Miller and Jordan Obita at full-back.

The other change is in the middle of the pitch with Nathan Moriah-Welsh joining Joe Newell and Josh Campbell in midfield.

Martin Boyle and Mykola Kuharevich keep their places in the starting team and will lead the line for the Hibees at Celtic Park.

On the bench, Gray has plenty of options to choose from with Kieron Bowie, Dylan Levitt, Chris Cadden and Harry McKirdy all named among the substitutes.

Youngsters Kanayo Megwa and Rudi Molotnikov are also included in today’s matchday squad, alongside Nicky Cadden who could make his Hibs debut from the bench this afternoon.

Elie Youan misses out through injury whilst new signing, Hyeokkyu Kwon, is ineligible to play against his parent club.
