Team News: Aberdeen (A)

Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray has made two changes to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s William Hill Premiership game against Aberdeen; 3pm kick-off at Pittodrie.

Jordan Smith remains in goal, with a settled back three of Warren O’Hora, Rocky Bushiri, and Jack Iredale in front of him.

Twin brothers Chris and Nicky Cadden both start on their respective flanks.

Joe Newell will captain the Hibees at Pittodrie and be part of a midfield three alongside Nectar Triantis and Josh Campbell, who returns to the starting XI. Campbell has scored two goals in his last three outings.

The final change comes up-front as Martin Boyle makes his first start since our game against St Mirren in early November. He partners Elie Youan in attack.

Junior Hoilett and Dwight Gayle drop to the bench, alongside Joe Bursik, Lewis Miller, Dylan Levitt, Luke Amos, Hyeokkyu Kwon, Jordan Obita, and Nathan Moriah-Welsh.

Gray is without the injured Kieron Bowie, Marvin Ekpiteta, Mykola Kuharevich, and Rudi Molotnikov this afternoon.
