'The band is back together' - Hibs fans react to team for Brora clash as Scottish Cup legends are selected

Hibs fans have reacted after Jack Ross made eight changes to his starting line-up to face Brora Rangers in tonight’s Betfred Cup clash.

Darren McGregor and avid Gray have returned to the starting line-up

With first-teamers Ofir Marciano, Ryan Porteous, Josh Doig, and Alex Gogic on international duty, the Easter Road boss has rung the changes for the visit of the Highland League side.

Dillon Barnes starts in goal while Scottish Cup-winning quartet David Gray, Darren McGregor, Paul Hanlon, and Lewis Stevenson make up the defence.

Stephen McGinn is handed a debut in midfield alongside Stevie Mallan, Drey Wright, and Melker Hallberg while Jamie Murphy and Jamie Gullan start in attack.

Writing on Twitter, @DJS62 suggested: “You should sign Liam Fontaine and get that back five band back together.”

Scott Paterson reminisced: “Ah, takes me back to 21/05/16 just need Conrad Logan and Liam Fontaine for the defence.”

JP07 added: “Decent looking team. Let's hope for a few goals.”

Hibs.net wrote: “Let's all just take a moment to bask in the glory of this back four. We're witnessing the twilight of an era, it's somewhat bittersweet. Four immortalised Hibernian legends.”

Jason Coyle joked: “Craig Samson in a Hibs squad has made 2020 that bit worse.”

Stephen Charter was happy: “Love to see SDG back in the squad.”

Samuel Gray added to the theme: “The band are back together - 2016 all over again!”

Duncan McKay stated: “With that back four, we're going to party like it's 2016.”

Last word to ImprovEdinburgh: “Gullan will definitely score. You would think a youth keeper on bench before Samson for experience.”
