Goalkeeper Graham Stack will have to train with no reaction to the back problem that has dogged him for almost as long to be considered for a recall, Kevin McCann needs game time after recovering from his troublesome hamstring injury, while Sol Bamba is ruled out while on African Nations Cup duty.
Kick-off is at 12pm.
Hibs (from): Stack, Ma-Kalambay, Murray, Hogg, Hanlon, Miller, Cregg, Rankin, Stokes, Riordan, Flynn, Zemmama, Byrne, Stevenson, Galbraith, Wotherspoon, McCormack, Nish, Benjelloun.
