Team News: St Mirren (H)

David Gray has named his side to face St Mirren this afternoon, which includes two changes.

The first of those changes sees Chris Cadden return to the starting XI and slots in at right-back. Cadds replaces Lewis Miller, who is fit enough to make the bench this afternoon. The rest of the back four is unchanged with Marvin Ekpiteta, Warren O’Hora and Jordan Obita starting in front of Joe Bursik in goal.

Gray has gone with the same midfield three that started last weekend, with Joe Newell, Hyeokkyu-Kwon and Nectar Triantis in the middle of the pitch.

Junior Hoilett and Martin Boyle occupy the wide areas with Elie Youan returning to the starting XI to lead the line for the Hibees this afternoon.

Dwight Gayle returns from injury and is included on the bench alongside Nicky Cadden, Harry McKirdy, Dylan Levitt, Rocky Bushiri and Jack Iredale.

Jake Doyle-Hayes also returns to the matchday squad. Mykola Kuharevich misses out through suspension whilst Kieron Bowie remains a long-term absentee. Rudi Molotnikov and Josh Campbell drop out of the squad.
