Striker Florian Kamberi has joined Hibs on loan from Grasshoppers in Switzerland while former Hamilton defender Stephen Hendrie has moved to Fir Park on loan from Southend United.

Kamberi could be included in the squad if the relevant paperwork is completed in time while Hendrie could also feature for ‘Well.

Anthony Stokes departed Hibs yesterday while Liam Fontaine has joined Ross County on a short-term deal.

Motherwell are without injured quartet Ellis Plummer (broken leg), Ryan Bowman (fractured cheekbone), George Newell and Elliott Frear (both hamstring).

Marvin Bartley is also likely to miss out as he continues his recovery from a knock picked up in the Scottish Cup derby defeat to Hearts earlier this month.
