Hibs' predicted XI to face Aberdeen – with two key changes
Hibs interim boss David Gray has been preparing his squad for the cinch Premiership visit of Aberdeen as he continues taking temporary charge of the team.
The caretaker manager still has plenty of absences to contend with, and could be without up to seven players through injury.
Christian Doidge, Kevin Nisbet, Kyle Magennis, Drey Wright, and Darren McGregor remain sidelined. Chris Cadden is expected to miss out after again picking up a knock against St Mirren. Demi Mitchell is on the mend but this game may come too soon for him to start.
Here's how we predict Gray will set out his side…
