Confirmed Hibs vs Motherwell team news as Hanlon and Stevenson learn fate on big night

It could be a strange night at Easter Road as Hibs host Motherwell in each's penultimate league game.

Hibees legends Lewis Stevenson and Paul Hanlon will bow out of the club at the conclusion of the campaign and tonight is there final home game, with fans having planned to give them a huge send-off. However, a significant amount of supporters have reacted badly to the appointment of Malky Mackay as sporting director and that could affect the atmosphere.

Supporters will still be keen to make it a special night for the outgoing duo but it remains to be seen how some will react to the presence of Mackay. In terms of on the pitch matters, David Gray is in charge for his FOURTH interim spell after the sacking of Nick Montgomery and will look to get a reaction from the players.

They can leapfrog the Steelman, and potentially Aberdeen too, with a win and will want to move up from night place before the season is out. The teams are in for it and are as follows.

Hibs starting XI: Wollacott, Cadden, Rocky, Hanlon, Stevenson, Newell, Triantis, Campbell, Boyle, Myziane, Vente
