The team includes three changes from the side that drew with Dundee United last time out.
The first change sees new our new signing Jimmy Jeggo come straight into the starting XI. The Australian international put pen-to-paper on an 18-month deal yesterday and trained with Lee Johnson’s First Team on Saturday ahead of the Derby.
The other two changes are at the back with Marijan Čabraja and Chris Cadden returning to the team. Marijan is making his first start for the Club since mid-December whilst Cadden has recovered from an injury which kept him out of the 2-2 draw with Dundee United last week.
Unfortunately, Kyle Magennis is out after picking up a knock in training, as is Jake Doyle-Hayes, and Joe Newell is unavailable due to suspension.
Hibs Academy prospects Ethan Laidlaw and Oscar MacIntyre are both named among the substitutes. Ethan has caught the eye of many in recent months for his performances for both the U18s and Hibs Dev Squad. The 18-year-old has scored 13 goals in his last 11 games (all comps), earning himself a spot on the bench this afternoon.
Club Captain, Paul Hanlon is also back in the matchday squad and is on the bench alongside attacking options Harry McKirdy, Ewan Henderson and Jair Tavares.
