Christian Doidge’s return to fitness gives Monty another much-needed option up front – but the Welshman could be restricted to a place on the bench, as the boss looks to juggle his attacking threats. Josh Campbell looked more than decent as a stand-in striker, despite his grounding as a midfielder, while Martin Boyle’s pace – alongside that of Elie Youan and Jair Tavares – might be the deciding factor in his selection.
As Hibs go chasing a win that would see them leapfrog the Dark Blues and take them into the top six, here’s how we think Montgomery’s men will line up:
