📰 Team News: Hibernian

There is just the sole fitness concern for the Hibernian gaffer Nick Montgomery to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Jake Doyle-Hayes (unknown injury) won’t play.

ℹ️ Team News: St Johnstone

With a fully injury-free squad available for selection, the St Johnstone boss Craig Levein does not have any fitness concerns to speak of coming into this clash.
