Jeremie Frimpong makes his SPFL debut with the former Manchester City kid starting at right-back against Ross County.
Tom Rogic comes in for the suspended Ryan Christie but the selection of Frimpong with Moritz Bauer and Hatem Abd Elhamed listed as substitutes that is the biggest surprise.
Kris Ajer and Christopher Jullien remain in central defence despite the loss at Livingston while Marian Shved replaces Scott Sinclair on the bench.
Since losing at Livingston a fortnight ago Neil Lennon’s squad has been scattered across Europe with the hoops boss only getting his players back together on Thursday.
Ryan Christie’s suspension will have an impact on the side but there are enough attacking options available to ensure full points for the home side.
With Ross County sitting in fifth place, ahead of Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs today’s match won’t be straightforward with the highlanders looking like steering well clear of the relegation dogfight
