The Gaffer has made three changes from the team that drew 2-2 with Motherwell in our first match of 2024.
The first of those changes see Lewis Stevenson return to the starting XI at left-back, forming a back four including Paul Hanlon, Will Fish and Rory Whittaker.
Jimmy Jeggo also returns to the starting team, partnering Joe Newell in the middle of midfield with Elie Youan and Jair Tavares keeping their place on either flank.
The final change will see 17-year-old Rudi Molotnikov make his first start for the Club! Rudi has made four appearances off the bench for Hibs this season, and will start just behind Christian Doidge this afternoon.
On the bench, Montgomery has plenty of options to choose from with Jordan Obita, Dylan Vente, Dylan Levitt and Harry McKirdy all named among the substitutes.
Teenagers Murray Johnson, Jacob Blaney and Josh Landers all also included on the bench this afternoon.
Chris Cadden, Jake Doyle-Hayes, Josh Campbell and Adam Le Fondre all miss out through injury whilst Martin Boyle, Lewis Miller, Rocky Bushiri and Jojo Wollacott are all away on international duty.
Unfortunately, Kanayo Megwa (cup-tied) and Myziane Maolida (work permit) are both unavailable for selection.
