Hibernian boss Mixu Paatelainen will be forced to change his team for Sunday's Scottish Cup fifth-round replay with Rangers at Ibrox.Former Kilmarnock striker Colin Nish is cup-tied and will be in the stand for the match along with defender Martin Canning, who is also ineligible having been on the bench for Gretna previously in the tournament.
Paatelainen looks likely to bring back Abdessalam Benjelloun or may even be tempted to play Steven Fletcher up front on his own. Skipper Rob Jones should return after missing four of the last six games due to thigh and hamstring problems that have plagued him since before Christmas.
Goalkeeper Yves Ma-Kalambay (groin) and Guillaume Beuzelin (knee) are both racing to be fit in time.
Hibs (from): McNeil, Gathuessi, Hogg, Zarabi, Kerr, Zemmama, Beuzelin, Chisholm, Murray, Rankin, Fletcher, O'Brien, Ma-Kalambay, Morais, Campbell, Hanlon, Jones, Shiels.
