Miller, who made more than 70 appearances for Hibs between 2009 and 2011, passed away last Friday.

He had been diagnosed with cancer last year.

The Easter Road side said in a statement: “The applause will be a moment of celebration for a person who provided many happy memories for Hibernian supporters, including goals against Hearts and Rangers.”

Both sets of players will be wearing black armbands, while Hibs’ matchday programme will feature a poignant tribute from Miller’s former Hibs team-mate Danny Galbraith.
