Team News: Aberdeen (H)

David Gray has named an unchanged team to face Aberdeen in the William Hill Premiership this afternoon.

Gray has gone with the same XI that drew 1-1 with Ross County in Dingwall last weekend.

Jordan Smith starts in goal, behind a back-three of Warren O’Hora, Rocky Bushiri and Jack Iredale.

Chris Cadden and Nicky Cadden start on the right and left flanks, with a midfield three of Nectar Triantis, Dylan Levitt and Josh Campbell.

Dwight Gayle keeps his place upfront, alongside Martin Boyle who captains the Hibees.

The bench is also unchanged from last week – with plenty of firepower to choose from – including, Mykola Kuharevich, Kieron Bowie, Junior Hoilett and Rudi Molotnikov. There are defensive options too, with Lewis Miller, Hyeokkyu Kwon, Nathan Moriah-Welsh, and Jordan Obita all named on the bench.

This game will come too soon for new signing Alasana Manneh. He received his work permit and visa yesterday, but is yet to train with the First Team squad. Joe Newell, Elie Youan and Marvin Ekpiteta all miss this one through injury.
