Towering Ukrainian striker Mykola Kuharevich has been handed his first Hibs start.
The 6ft 4' forward will start up top for today's clash with Aberdeen at Easter Road as Lee Johnson's side go in search of back to back wins. Deadline day signing Kuherivch starts as Harry McKirdy serves a one-match ban which has carried over from his time at Swindon Town.
McKirdy made his debut against Kilmarnock because his suspension didn’t kick in until 14 days after he was officially registered. Elias Melkerson is unavailable due to concussion, with Ewan Henderson dropping to the bench for the Premiership clash against Jim Goodwin’s Aberdeen side. New Manchester United loanee Will Fish also starts on the bench.
