A quick turnaround in fixtures sees Grant Scott make four changes to the Hibs Women XI ahead of Sunday’s Edinburgh Derby clash at Oriam. 

The adjustments follow Wednesday evening’s 2-0 victory over Motherwell at Meadowbank Stadium, which saw Kathleen McGovern and Kirsten Reilly amongst the goals. 

The first alteration sees Caley Gibb come into the XI to make her first Hibernian start since rejoining the Club on loan in February. 

There is a return for our number nine, Eilidh Adams. The forward missed out against Motherwell in the midweek as an unused substitute, making it the first game this season Eilidh has not played in. 

The final two changes allow central midfielder Ciara Grant and versatile defender Linzi Taylor to make their returns to the starting line-up. 

Making way is Stacey Papadopoulos, Rosie Livingstone, Ellis Notley and Kirsty Morrison, who all drop to the bench. 

Kirsten Reilly takes the captain’s armband for the final derby of the 2024/25 campaign.
