David Gray has provided an update on his team for tomorrow’s Edinburgh derby at Easter Road.
Warren O’Hora (illness) and Chris Cadden (personal) both missed last weekend’s match against Dundee United, but will both be available for selection this Saturday.
Rudi Molotnikov returned to training but it is likely this game will come too soon for the young forward.
Hibs will be without Jordan Obita, Rocky Bushiri and Miguel Chaiwa, who are all representing their countries at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The match has been selected for live broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football!
Coverage begins at 12 noon, with a 12:30pm kick-off.
Hearts are currently leading the William Hill Premiership, having accrued 41 points from 18 matches.
Derek McInnes’ side have been in good form across December, most recently defeating Rangers at Tynecastle Park last Sunday. Stuart Findlay and Lawrence Shankland both scored before Youssef Chermiti netted a late consolation.
The last time Hibs met Hearts at Easter Road, back in March 2025, Martin Boyle opened the scoring before Jack Iredale’s sensational volley – later voted the club’s Goal of the Season – nullified Jorge Grant’s earlier equaliser to secure all three points in Leith.
