Team News
St. Johnstone
Hibernian
- St Johnstone boss Craig Levein named just one change to the Saints team that left it late to nick a 1-0 win over St Mirren in Perth before another late goal set Saints back, as they drew 1-1 with Motherwell at Fir Park last weekend.
- Ryan McGowan, Liam Gordon and Luke Robinson continued as the Saints back three. Tony Gallacher remained in Saints' four-man-midfield alongside James Brown, Dan Phillips and Matt Smith as they opted to change shape slightly.
- Max Kucheriavyi picked up an injury against St Mirren, so made way for Chris Kane - who netted the winner against the Buddies - to lead the line. Diallang Jaiyesimi and Graham Carey supported the lone striker on either flank.
- Hibs boss Nick Montgomery named four changes to the Hibernian team that conceded four goals to Celtic as they were mauled 4-1 in their midweek match, before bouncing back with a sole-goal success away to Livingston on Saturday.
- Three of the four alterations came in defence as Rory Whittaker replaced Lewis Miller at right-back, club captain Paul Hanlon returned at centre-back at Rocky Bushiri's expense and Lewis Stevenson made way for Jordan Obita at left-back.
- The only other change came in attack, as Èlie Youan dropped back into midfield and Josh Campbell made way for Dylan Vente to join the weekend matchwinner Martin Boyle up front.
