IMO this is a tricky match for Hibs v physically strong opponents and I think the guys will really have to "up their game" in order to attain a positive result. Gogic must return after being given a deserved rest v Dundee. Also I'd still like to see Boyly dropped and finally given a rest and Jamie Gullan allowed to play in the starting line up. Keep Darren Magregor and Porteous together in our central defence. Stevie Mallan's mid position again an issue to ponder whether he should be in a Hibs team playing this type of opposition? One or two "up top"? I'm not sure but based on Hibs recent form covering the past 2-3 weeks I would be cautious re playing at Fir Park. Their recent form has not been inspiring anyway but Hibs need to "show up" IMO. A strong, durable defensive unit is definitely uppermost in my mind and something Hibs defenders wanna apply and heed.
