A full predicted starting XI? In this economy? You must be joking ...
In all seriousness, predicting the Hibs line-up for this afternoon’s Scottish Premiership fixture against Dundee United at Tannadice is no easy task. Mainly because we’ve got no previous evidence to work with.
The one guarantee is that Marink Reedijk’s first team will be different to the side who lined up in David Gray’s final match. Simply because the new manager favours a formation at odds with his predecessor’s first pick.
Injuries to Jamie McGrath and Adam Mayor, plus the long-term fitness issues dating back to before Reedijk’s arrival, do restrict his options. And does he risk Rabbi Matondo, who hasn’t played a competitive game since the end of the Norwegian season from the off?
Here’s how we think Hibs will line up in a 4-2-3-1 shape on Tayside:
1. GK Raphael Sallinger
We can be pretty sure about this one, at least, with back-up Jordan Smith on the medium-term injury list. | SNS Group
2. RB Felix Passlack
German can play at fullback or on the wing. If he's moved up the pitch, Alex Williams or Kanayo Megwa would slot in at right back. | SNS Group
3. CB Jason Kerr
Experienced central defender can be relied upon to give his all. | SNS Group
4. CB Marko Ivezic
Finally over the virus that laid him low after his signing late in the summer window. | SNS Group
