Team News: St Mirren (A)

David Gray has named his starting line-up for today’s William Hill Premiership match against St Mirren; 3pm kick-off at the SMiSA Stadium.

Our Head Coach has selected the same XI that started in our last Premier Sports Cup outing as we beat Peterhead 4-0.

That means that Josef Bursik starts in goal with Lewis Miller, Marvin Ekpiteta, Warren O’Hora and Jordan Obita as the back four.

Joe Newell leads out the Hibees and is part of a midfield three alongside Nathan Moriah-Welsh and Josh Campbell.

Rudi Molotnikov makes his first Scottish Premiership start on left wing, Martin Boyle is on the right, and Dylan Vente leads the line for Hibs this afternoon.

New signing Mykola Kuharevich is on the bench today after his international clearance came through last night.

Gray’s bench is also bolstered with the return of Chris Cadden and Harry McKirdy; the pair have recovered from their respective injury and illness issues.

Alongside those three, Jordan Smith, Dylan Levitt, Luke Amos, Kanayo Megwa, Jair Tavares, and Rocky Bushiri are also on the substitutes’ bench.

Elie Youan is unavailable this afternoon through injury.
