Team News: Motherwell (H)

Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray has made two changes to his starting XI for today’s William Hill Premiership game against Motherwell; 3pm kick-off at Easter Road.

The first of those changes comes at the back with Warren O’Hora returning to the starting line-up. He replaces Lewis Miller and makes his first start since Boxing Day.

The second change sees Dylan Levitt return to the centre of midfield, starting his first league game since the middle of August. The Welshman has made 10 appearances for the Hibees this season and comes into the side in place of Hyeokkyu Kwon.

That means that Jordan Smith remains in goal with O’Hora, Rocky Bushiri, and Jack Iredale in-front of him.

Fresh off winning the SPFL Player of the Month award for December, Nicky Cadden starts at left wing-back, with his twin brother Chris Cadden at right wing-back.

Dylan Levitt is in a midfield three alongside Nectar Triantis and Josh Campbell - who scored in our 3-0 win over Motherwell back in November.

Dwight Gayle and Martin Boyle lead the line for the Hibees once again.

There’s a number of options on the substitutes’ bench, which includes Joe Bursik, Lewis Miller, Luke Amos, Harry McKirdy, Hyeokkyu Kwon, Jordan Obita, Nathan Moriah-Welsh, Junior Hoilett, and Rudi Molotnikov.

Unfortunately, David Gray is without the injured Keiron Bowie, Marvin Ekpiteta, Mykola Kuharevich, Joe Newell and Elie Youan this afternoon. For an update on their fitness, click here.
