Hibs take on Motherwell this Sunday in their Premiership opener at Easter Road.
David Gray’s side begin this campaign with the fixture that ended their last term, although they will hope for a better result, having lost 1-0 last time out. Both sides have Conference League qualifiers to juggle and a look towards maintaining squad fitness will need kept in mind by both Hibs boss Gray and Fir Park counterpart Alfred Johansson.
A 4-1 win was had over Kosovan side Malisheva in Europe midweek but we’re predicting three changes from that and a trio of summer signings in the team. Here’s our predicted Hibs XI vs Motherwell.
9. CAM - Josh Campbell
More steel may be required against improved opposition so a box-crashing 10 might not be the worst idea. Takes Owen Elding's place. | SNS Group
10. ST - Martin Boyle
Subbed after an hour midweek so perhaps a tad fresher than some others who started. | SNS Group
11. ST - Nathan Lowe
Stoke City loanee looks likely to be a key player in this team. | SNS Group
