Hibs skipper Joe Newell is back after a groin problem but only fit enough for a place among the subs, along with Marvin Ekpiteta, who has been out since November.

Nathan Moriah-Welsh gets the nod in midfield since on-loan Kwon Hyeok-kyu can't face his parent club, Lewis Miller is preferred to Chris Cadden on the right and Kieron Bowie starts up front for the first time since his summer move from Fulham, having made nine appearances as a replacement in an injury-hit campaign. The 22-year-old takes over from Dwight Gayle.

After pushing Bayern Munich all the way for 94 minutes on Tuesday, Celtic also make three changes as Jota, Reo Hatate and Jeffrey Schlupp drop to the bench.

In come Adam Idah, Luke McCowan and Greg Taylor.

A busy day in the Scottish Premiership starts at Easter Road, with Hibs hosting runaway leaders Celtic.

How will the visitors be feeling after giving Bayern Munich an almighty scare at the Allianz Arena?

They have beaten Hibs three times already this season, but the Edinburgh side are unbeaten in 10 league games.
