Team News: Glasgow City (A)

There are two alterations amongst the Hibs XI following our narrow victory over Celtic last time out.

The Hibees defeated the reigning champions at Meadowbank Stadium a fortnight ago through Eilidh Adams’ first-half header.

Grant Scott’s first change is one outside his control, as loanee keeper Erin Clachers is ineligible to play against her parent club.

Therefore, American shot-stopper Noa Schumacher returns to the XI after deputising for the previous two matches.

Noa has kept three clean sheets across her last four appearances – a run that included our home victory over today’s opponents, Glasgow City, in January. 

With Erin ruled out entirely, young goalkeeper Rowena Armitage has been recalled on an emergency seven-day loan from Montrose and is listed as a substitute.

The second switch occurs in attack, with Kathleen McGovern reclaiming her place in the Hibernian starting line-up. 

Kathleen joins Tegan Bowie and Adams up front and will be looking to add to her 23-strong goal tally across all competitions. 

The striker replaces Rosie Livingstone, who drops to the bench.

Kirsten Reilly retains the armband in the absence of Club captain Rachael Boyle, who has been ruled out for a number of weeks.
