David Gray has named his side to face Ross County this evening, which includes two changes from the Edinburgh Derby.

The first of those changes sees Hibs captain Joe Newell return to the starting XI. Joe partners Nectar Triantis in the middle of the pitch, with Kwon dropping to the bench.

The back four and goalkeeper are all unchanged with Joe Bursik starting behind Lewis Miller, Marvin Ekpiteta, Warren O’Hora and Jordan Obita in defence.

The only other change is upfront – with Mykola Kuharevich earning himself a place in the starting XI. Mykola scored in the Edinburgh Derby and will lead the line this evening, alongside Martin Boyle, Junior Hoilett and Elie Youan in the forward areas.

On the bench, Gray has several options to choose from including Dylan Levitt, Harry McKirdy, Rudi Molotnikov and Rocky Bushiri.  

Josh Campbell and Nicky Cadden are both back in the matchday squad, however, Chris Cadden, Jake Doyle-Hayes, Nathan Moriah-Welsh and Dwight Gayle miss out. Kieron Bowie remains a longer-term absentee.
