Lee Johnson has handed two of his new summer recruits a start in his first competitive game as Hibs manager.
Goalkeeper David Marshall starts between the sticks and has been handed the captain's armband for the Premier Sports Cup clash with Clyde while Nohan Kenneh is also named in the starting XI in the number six role. Fellow summer recruits Aiden McGeady, Kyle McClelland and Lewis Miller have been named on the bench and could also make their debuts at Easter Road.
The new boss is without Momodou Bojang, Èlie Youan and Jair Tavares as they are waiting for their work permit approval, whilst Paul Hanlon, Kyle Magennis, Demetri Mitchell and Kevin Nisbet are all injured.
