Hibernian manager Marink Reedijk has named his starting XI for this afternoon's Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Hearts at Hampden.
The Dutchman has made just one change to the team that lined up at the Marbill Coaches Stadium in midweek for the 1-1 draw with St Mirren, with Martin Boyle returning in place of Nicky Cadden.
Boyle was a late call-off from last weekend's 2-1 defeat by Celtic through illness, and sat out the trip to Paisley as well.
But the Australian internationalist has returned for his 13th appearance at Hampden as a Hibs player, and will start in Reedijk's attack.
The 33-year-old has scored five goals against Hearts as a Hibs player, having faced them 25 times in all competitions.
Raphael Sallinger starts in goal behind a back four of Felix Passlack, who captains the side; Jason Kerr, Marko Ivezic, and Adam Mayor.
Joe Newell and Miguel Chaiwa anchor the midfield and are joined by Josh Mulligan in the engine room. Boyle joins Owen Elding and Jamie McGrath in attack.
On the subs bench, Jordan Smith is the back-up 'keeper, with Grant Hanley and Jack Iredale as defensive options.
Midfield changes could come from Cadden, Azeem Abdulai, and Callum Wright, who returns to the squad after injury.
Thibault Klidje, Ante Suto, and Rabbi Matondo could provide something different in attack.
Hibs: Sallinger; Passlack, Kerr, Ivezic, Mayor; Chaiwa, Mulligan, Newell; Boyle, Elding, McGrath.
Subs: Smith, Hanley, Iredale, Abdulai, Cadden, Wright, Klidje, Matondo, Klidje.
Rocky Bushiri, Jacob Devaney, Nathan Lowe, Kanayo Megwa, and Jordan Obita miss out through injury, while Zach Bruce, and Alex Williams are not selected in the matchday squad.
