Hibs are in Conference League third round qualifier second leg duty away from home against North Macedonia’s Shkendija on Thursday.
David Gray’s side secured a 2-1 win at Easter Road last week and defeating Rangers by that scoreline on the road last Sunday has boosted morale ahead of this key clash. Scorching heat will meet the Hibs players who are waiting to see if experienced forward Martin Boyle will make the game in some capacity.
There are plenty of options for head coach Gray to pick from and he makes four changes from the side that defeated Rangers at Ibrox. Including a new-look attack, and a verdict on Boyle, here’s who we think will start for Hibs against Shkendija.
