Hearts team news
Cammy Devlin is back in full training after sitting out the last few weeks with a hamstring problem. The Australian will be included in the squad for Saturday’s game. There are no new injury concerns with Beni Baningime out until next season and Michael Smith and John Souttar unlikely to recover in time from back and ankle issues, respectively.
Hibs team news
Ryan Porteous returns to the squad as his four-game suspension only applies to cinch Premiership duty. Paul McGinn is back in training but is unlikely to make tomorrow’s game. Fellow defender Josh Doig is a doubt after picking up a knock at Tynecastle last week, while Rocky Bushiri is expected to be fit despite doing likewise in the 3-1 defeat. Drey Wright, who scored early in that match, is not expected to return in time from the knock which forced him off, while there will be a game-time decision over striker Christian Doidge.
Hearts likely XI
Gordon; Atkinson, Halkett, Kingsley, Cochrane; McEneff, Haring, Halliday, McKay; Boyce, Simms.
Hibs likely XI
Macey; Clarke, Porteous, Hanlon, Stevenson; Doyle-Hayes, Newell, Campbell; Cadden, Jasper; Melkersen
