Team News: Hearts (A)
Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray has named an unchanged side for today’s William Hill Premiership game against Hearts; 12.30pm kick-off at Tynecastle.
That means he’s selected the same starting XI that performed excellently on Saturday as we beat Aberdeen 3-1 at Pittodrie.
Jordan Smith remains in goal, with a settled back three of Jack Iredale, Rocky Bushiri, and Warren O’Hora in front of him. O’Hora was monitored closely after coming off with a knock against the Dons but has been deemed fit to play.
Twin brothers Chris and Nicky Cadden both start on their respective flanks.
Joe Newell, who picked up an impact injury against the Dons, is also fit to start and he’s part of a midfield three alongside Nectar Triantis and Josh Campbell.
Martin Boyle, who stole the headlines in this fixture five years ago, starts up-front alongside the in-form Elie Youan.
The bench remains with same as the weekend too, with Joe Bursik, Lewis Miller, Dylan Levitt, Luke Amos, Hyeokkyu Kwon, Jordan Obita, Nathan Moriah-Welsh, Junior Hoilett and Dwight Gayle.
Gray is without the injured Kieron Bowie, Marvin Ekpiteta, Mykola Kuharevich, and Rudi Molotnikov this afternoon.
