Team News
Hibernian
Aberdeen
- Nick Montgomery named an unchanged Hibernian team after the Hibees picked up a 1-0 win over Kilmarnock at Easter Road before the international break, as they clinched a second successive league win given they beat Dundee 2-1.
- Lewis Miller netted what proved the winning goal, shortly before he was sent off at Dens Park last Saturday. Paul Hanlon replaced him in Dundee, with Will Fish shifting out to right-back so perhaps that'll be the case here again.
- Jair Tavares scored the opener last weekend, joining Joe Newell, Dylan Levitt and Josh Campbell in midfield. Dylan Vente continued to be partnered by Martin Boyle in attack.
- Aberdeen boss Barry Robson named seven changes to the Dons team that drew 1-1 with Rangers at Pittodrie on Sunday, as they fought back to claim a 2-2 draw with HJK Helsinki in Finland in their Europa Conference League encounter.
- Angus MacDonald, who netted the equaliser for Aberdeen on Thursday night, replaced Stefan Gartenmann in the Dons defence. Jack Milne took Nicky Devlin's spot at right wing-back, with Jonny Hayes captaining the side at left wing-back.
- Graeme Shinnie, Leighton Clarkson and Jamie McGrath all dropped out of midfield, as did Bojan Miovski and Ester Sokler up front. In came Connor Barron, Dante Polvara, Pape Gueye and Duk who scored the first Aberdeen goal.
