Team News: Kelty Hearts (A)

David Gray has named his side to face Kelty Hearts this afternoon, which includes six changes.

The Hibs Head Coach has rotated his side, giving several players their first start of the season.

The first of those changes is in goal with new signing, Jordan Smith making his Hibs debut. Smith joined the Club earlier this week and will go straight into the action.

Rocky Bushiri and Kanayo Megwa both come into the starting XI, completing a back four alongside Lewis Miller and Warren O’Hora. Kanayo will start on the left-hand side this afternoon.

In midfield, Luke Amos and Dylan Levitt make their first starts of the season, alongside 18-year-old Rudi Molotnikov.

The final change sees Harry McKirdy return, making his first competitive start since April 2023.

McKirdy completes a front three of Dylan Vente and Martin Boyle – who captains the Hibees this afternoon at New Central Park.

On the bench, Gray has plenty of options to choose from with Joe Newell, Josh Campbell, Nathan Moriah-Welsh and Jordan Obita all among the substitutes.

Chris Cadden, Elie Youan and Joe Bursik all miss out this afternoon.
