Hibs squad revealed for Scottish Cup semi as Ryan Porteous strolls into side looking for derby inspiration

Hibs can count on defender Ryan Porteous in Saturday lunchtime's Scottish Cup semi-final against Hearts.

The defender is in the middle of a four-game league suspension and sat out last week's derby at Tynecastle.

But it would be a major surprise if Shaun Maloney didn't pick him after his side shipped three in Gorgie without the combative centre-back.

Meanwhile Rocky Bushiri started that clash and he's expected to be fit despite coming off with a knock but Drey Wright and Josh Doig are both doubtful.

Kevin Nisbet, Demetri Mitchell and Kyle Magennis are all definitely ruled out while Christian Doidge is battling to be fit for this one and Paul McGinn is back in training.

With a bottom six finish confirmed Hibs' season effectively comes down to this as they bid to banish Hampden derby demons and reach the Scottish Cup Final.
