THE LOWDOWN
Hibs take on Ross County on Tuesday 8 November (kick off at 7:45 pm) - the first of two important cinch Premiership fixtures this week
Lee Johnson's side will be hoping to return to winning ways after a disappointing defeat away to Aberdeen last Friday.
Ross County’s visit will be the Hibees' last home fixture before the World Cup break. Hibs will then travel to Kilmarnock on Saturday for our final match before the season is paused.
We currently sit fifth in the cinch Premiership, with 20 points from 14 matches. It is incredibly tight, however, with three points separating six teams between third and eighth place.
THE OPPOSITION
Ross County currently sit 11th in the table, picking up 12 points from their first 14 games.
The Staggies visit Easter Road coming off the back of an impressive 3-2 victory against St. Mirren, a result that lifted them off the foot table.
Jordan White, Jordan Tillson and George Harmon got the goals to steer the Highland side to their third victory of the season.
This will be the second meeting between the sides this season, with the Hibees taking hone all three points in a 2-0 win at the beginning of October.
Ryan Porteous and Martin Boyle were on the scoresheet that day, with both goals coming in the second half.
TEAM NEWS
Martin Boyle missed our match with Aberdeen due to an injury he picked up against St Mirren a week previous. The Australian international is progressing well, however, and Lee Johnson has admitted Boyle will not feature against Ross County or Kilmarnock on Saturday.
Kevin Dąbrowski was back involved in the matchday squad against Aberdeen after recovering from a shoulder injury that has kept him out since August.
Longer-term absentees include Kevin Nisbet and Aiden McGeady who are both back in training and progressing well.
