Team News
Hibernian
Motherwell
- Hibs boss Nick Montgomery named three changes to the Hibernian team that fell to defeat against St Johnstone in Perth, before late disappointment in the derby after Hearts won at Easter Road by the same 1-0 scoreline.
- Rocky Bushiri replaced Paul Hanlon in the Hibees' backline, to join Lewis Miller, Will Fish and Jordan Obita. Joe Newell returned in midfield, at Jimmy Jeggo's expense.
- Josh Campbell was also included, but was forced off in the derby through injury, as Élie Youan was sat among the substitutes. In attack, Dylan Vente joined Martin Boyle - who had a penalty saved - as Hibs went back-to-back games without scoring.
- Stuart Kettlewell named three changes to the Motherwell team after the Well fell to a Christmas Eve defeat to Rangers where they lost 2-0 at Fir Park, before ending their wait for a win as they beat Livingston 3-1 to round off 2023.
- Georgie Gent and Brodie Spencer continued at left wing-back and right wing-back respectively. However, Paul McGinn joined Shane Blaney and Stephen O'Donnell in the back three at Bevis Mugabi's expense.
- Davor Zdravkovski and Blair Spittal - who fired Motherwell in front - were the two chosen in midfield. Callum Slattery and Harry Paton made way for Oli Shaw and Theo Bair, who bagged a brace against Livi, to join Mika Biereth up front.
