Team News: Kilmarnock (H)

David Gray has named his starting XI to face Kilmarnock this afternoon in the William Hill Premiership, which includes two changes from our Edinburgh Derby victory on Boxing Day.

The first of those changes is in the back line, with Lewis Miller coming into the starting XI. Miller replaces Warren O’Hora in a back three alongside Rocky Bushiri and Jack Iredale.

Chris and Nicky Cadden keep their on either flank, with Nectar Triantis, Joe Newell and Josh Campbell in the middle of the pitch.

The only other change is in the forward areas with Junior Hoilett returning to the side, partnering Martin Boyle up front.

Elie Youan misses out due to a knock, whilst Kieron Bowie, Marvin Ekpiteta, Mykola Kuharevich and Rudi Molotnikov all remain longer-term injuries.

Gray has several options to choose from on the bench including Warren O’Hora, Dylan Levitt, Luke Amos, Harry McKirdy, Hyeokkyu Kwon, Jordan Obita and Nathan Moriah-Welsh.

Dwight Gayle scored the winner at Tynecastle three days ago and is also named on the bench this afternoon.
