Ryan Christie has recovered from the rib injury that he suffered against St Johnstone on Sunday to make the starting XI against Hibs tonight.

Dedryck Boyata makes just his second start of 2019 while Timo Weah comes in to replace the injured James Forrest on the right wing.

Sunday’s win at St Johnstone was achieved at a price with Mikael Lustig, Odsonne Edouard and James Forrest joining the injured list.

Earlier this season the hoops enjoyed a spectacular 4-2 win over Hibs but there will be one very vital ingredient missing from the Edinburgh side tonight- Neil Lennon.

Last week Hibs issued a bizarre statement full of praise for the Irishman and denying any misconduct as the two parties agreed to move on in separate directions.

SUBS: Gordon, Bitton, Hayes, Bayo, Lustig, Henderson, Johnston
