Hibs squad revealed for Livingston clash as Joe Newell makes quick return

Hibs are likely to have Joe Newell available for Livingston's visit to Easter Road tomorrow.

The midfielder went down with no-one near him during the second half of last weekend's 2-1 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.

Newell was replaced by Lewis Stevenson and was thought to be a doubt this tomorrow's game but manager Jack Ross confirmed he had returned to training during the latter part of this week and was looking good for Saturday's squad.

Aside from longer-term absentees Stevie Mallan, Ryan Porteous and Jason Naismith, Hibs have pretty much a full squad to choose from as they look to leapfrog Livi in the table with a victory.

The Hibees have yet to beat the Lions this season, drawing 2-2 at Easter Road back in October before succumbing to a 2-0 defeat at the Tony Macaroni Arena in the last game of 2019.
