- Hearts boss Steven Naismith made three changes after the Jambos clinched a 2-0 win against Motherwell at Tynecastle, before their remarkable recent run came to an end as they were hammered 5-0 by Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon.
- Nathaniel Atkinson replaced Dexter Lembikisa at right wing-back, as Alex Cochrane continued at left wing-back. Stephen Kingsley, Kye Rowles and Frankie Kent were the three centre-backs chosen once again.
- Beni Baningime, Calem Nieuwenhof and Jorge Grant - who took Scott Fraser's spot - were the selected midfield trio. Alan Forrest made way for Kenneth Vargas to accompany the Jambos' main marksman Lawrence Shankland in attack.
- Hibs boss Nick Montgomery named three changes to the Hibernian team that picked up a point at Pittodrie against Aberdeen in a 2-2 draw, before a first league win since the 9th December as they beat Dundee 2-1 at Easter Road on Saturday.
- Rocky Bushiri made a first start since December, having been away with DR Congo at the African Cup of Nations, replacing Nectarios Triantis in the Hibees' defence to join Lewis Miller, Will Fish and Jordan Obita.
- Emiliano Marcondes replaced the ill Dylan Levitt in midfield. Myziane Maolida, who netted the weekend winner, moved out to the left. Dylan Vente, who fired Hibs ahead from the spot, took Elie Youan's place as the Hibees' sole striker.
