Grant Scott has made two changes to his Hibs XI ahead of tonight's SWPL clash versus Partick Thistle. 

The first change sees Michaela McAlonie returns to the Hibees' starting XI for the first time since 3 March, 2024.

Micky had been ruled out by injury for several weeks before coming off the bench versus Glasgow City in our last outing.

The second switch sees Kirsty Morrison return to the forward line alongside PFA Scotland SWPL1 Player of the Year nominee Jorian Baucom. 

The rest of the team remains unchanged.

Joelle Murray captains the side alongside Poppy Lawson in defence and in front of goalkeeper Katie Fraine.

Following the announcement of her one-year contract extension last week, wing-back Lauren Doran-Barr starts on the right flank.

Shannon Leishman, Tegan Bowie, Naomi Powell and Ellis Notley make up the rest of the XI.

Young full-back Mya Christie and central midfielder Shannon McGregor both join Comfort Erhabor, Siobhan Hunter and Lia Tweedie on the substitutes list.
