Toby Sibbick insists he's willing to star for Hearts in the midfield against Hibs.
The defender by trade is ready to help his side who are in the midst of a personnel crisis of sorts.
Robbie Neilson is without Beni Baningime through injury as well as Cammy Devlin.
But versatile Sibbick will do what he can to fill in after having played in that position under former Jambos boss Daniel Stendel at Tynecastle and former club Barnsley.
"I think it was the first time I'd played there since the last time I was up here and my final match against St Johnstone," he told the Edinburgh Evening News.
"I played there a couple of times while at Barnsley and a bit more in my youth football days, but not properly professionally.
"It's something I've only done a few times in my career. But if I'm asked to fill in anywhere then I'm more than happy to because I'm quite a versatile player.
"If I play in the middle I'm more high energy, box to box.
"I like to carry the ball and play. And I'm quite quick in well. In transitions I think it would work pretty well."
Peter Haring, who started the match against Ross County in centre of the pitch alongside Halliday, is almost guaranteed to do so again this weekend.
"He's a quality player," Sibbick said of the Austrian. "He always talks to you as well, which makes your life easier.
"His quality on the ball is unmatched. Sometimes he sees balls nobody else can and he always wants the ball.
"They'd be coming up against a lot of physicality.
"Me and Pete like to compete and dominate things, both in training and in games.
"So if that were to happen, I think Hibs would know there would be a lot of physical play in there and that we're there to compete."
