Team News: Motherwell (H)

David Gray has named an unchanged side to face Motherwell this afternoon!

We return to Easter Road this afternoon for the first time in three weeks as we host Motherwell in the William Hill Premiership.

Gray has gone with an unchanged XI to the side that narrowly lost at Ibrox last time out. That means Lewis Miller, Warren O’Hora, Marvin Ekpiteta and Jordan Obita form a back four, in front of Joe Bursik in goal.

Nectar Triantis and Kwon keep their place in the middle of the pitch, alongside Josh Campbell.

Mykola Kuharevich will lead the line for the Hibees this afternoon, with Chris Cadden and Junior Hoilett on either flank.

On the bench, Gray has several attacking options to choose from with Rudi Molotnikov, Elie Youan, Dylan Levitt, Dwight Gayle and Harry McKirdy, all named among the substitutes. Jack Iredale, Nathan Moriah-Welsh and Rocky Bushiri are also included in the matchday squad.

Unfortunately, Martin Boyle and Joe Newell are unavailable due to injury, whilst Kieron Bowie remains a longer-term absentee. This game comes too soon for Luke Amos and Nicky Cadden who are recovering from respective knocks.
