Hibernian (A) – Team news


Neil McCann has named his Kilmarnock team for this afternoon’s William Hill Scottish Premiership match against Hibernian at Easter Road.

The manager has made one change to the starting XI which defeated Livingston 2-0 last time out before the international break.

Captain Brad Lyons has been restored to the line-up after missing out on the win over Hearts, and being named among the substitutes against Livi.

The Northern Ireland midfielder comes into the team for Marley Watkins, who is on the bench this afternoon.

That sees Killie go for a change of shape, with Joe Hugill preferred as a lone striker.

Kelle Roos retains his spot in goal, and the back four is entirely unchanged with Jamie Brandon, George Stanger, Robbie Deas and Michael Schjønning-Larsen all starting.

The midfield is comprised of Lyons, Aaron Tshibola, Liam Polworth, Greg Kiltie and Findlay Curtis. The latter two will push on to support Hugill in attack.

Max Stryjek, Dominic Thompson, Lewis Mayo, Rory McKenzie, David Watson, Jack Thomson, Tom Lowery, Bruce Anderson and Marley Watkins make up the bench.
