Hibernian manager Mixu Paatelainen could finally hand Algeria defender Abdel Zarabi his debut against Gretna at Easter Road on Wednesday.The 26-times capped full-back was signed before the transfer deadline but his arrival was delayed by red tape in France.

However, Hibs may again have to do without skipper Rob Jones, midfielder Brian Kerr and striker Abdessalam Benjelloun after the trio missed Saturday's 1-1 draw at Dundee United through injury.

Hibs (from): Ma-Kalambay, McCann, Gathuessi, Hogg, Murray, Jones, Hanlon, Zarabi, Morais, Beuzelin, Rankin, Zemmama, Nish, Fletcher, Shiels, Stevenson, Gray, McNeil.
