Hibs line-up v Kilmarnock revealed as Jack Ross hands debut to new recruit

Jack Ross has called upon both his new signings in his team to face Kilmarnock at Easter Road as the Hibernian look to recapture their form after just one win in the previous six games .

The Leith outfit were able to salvage a late draw in their last Scottish Premiership outing as Kevin Nisbet's stoppage time leveller ensured a share of the spoils from Celtic Park.

The men in green and white have won both meetings with Alex Dyer's side so far this season, a Martin Boyle double sealing victory on the opening day and Nisbet's penalty sealing three points at Rugby Park in October.

Killie however arrive on the back of a three-game unbeaten run and received a boost earlier this week when their points deduction for missing a fixture against Motherwell was overturned following an appeal.

Ross has been able to name Jackson Irvine in the starting XI, but Chris Cadden must be content with a place among the subs.

However, the Hibees remain without goalkeeper Ofir Marciano, who remains out with a calf issue, and midfielder Joe Newell, who tweaked a groin injury in the draw with Celtic.

It means there are two changes from the side that started at Parkhead on Monday.

Hibernian XI: Macey, P. McGinn, Porteous, Hanlon (C), Doig, Gogic, Hallberg, Irvine, Boyle, Murphy, Nisbet.

Subs: Dabrowski, Gray, McGregor, Stevenson, Mallan, Wright, Cadden, Gullan, Doidge

Kilmarnock XI: Rogers, McGowan, Dikamona, Findlay, Haunstrup, Power (C), Mulumbu, Tshibola, Pinnock, Kiltie, Whitehall

Subs: Doyle, Waters, Brindley, Taylor, Dabo, Burke, Cameron, Kabamba
