Hibs XI v Ross County confirmed as big Magennis decision made alongside Fish and McKirdy calls

Hibs have named their starting XI that will take on Ross County in the Premiership this afternoon.

Manager Lee Johnson goes with David Marshall between the sticks and Ryan Porteous returns to central defence following his Scotland heroics midweek alongside Paul Hanlon. There's a welcome return to the squad for the first time this season for Kyle Magennis after his injury problems with new signings Harry McKirdy and Will Fish on the bench. Hibs will be keen to build on their impressive 3-1 win against Aberdeen last time out but they have already suffered defeats on the road to Livingston and St Mirren this season, so will be wary that they need a similar performance in the Highlands.

Johnson said ahead of the game: “It’s a really difficult place to go. We have to fully respect the team and the management there. There are all sorts of challenges that comes with this, obviously the tactical challenge, the physical challenge.
