Striker Garry O'Connor could return from a toe injury for Hibs. O'Connor missed the 3-1 loss at Dundee United as Leigh Griffiths, whose loan deal Hibs are seeking to extend beyond January 9, was forced to plough a lone furrow up front. Midfielder Isaiah Osbourne remains out with an abductor injury. Inverness will assess the fitness of Andrew Shinnie and Ross Tokely ahead of the clash. Both have a chance of overcoming calf injuries but they will not be risked with another important game against St Johnstone to come on Monday. Aaron Doran could make his comeback from a shoulder injury and Josh Meekings returns to the squad but Aidan Chippendale, David Proctor and Owain Tudur Jones remain on the sidelines. Hibernian (from): Stack, Hart, Towell, O'Hanlon, Hanlon, Sproule, Wotherspoon, Palsson, Scott, O'Connor, Sodje, Galbraith, Agogo, Brown, Stevenson, Stephens, Booth, Murray, Welsh. Inverness (from): Esson, Gillet, Tokely, Golobart, G Shinnie, Cox, Hayes, Davis, Tansey, A Shinnie, Tade, McKay, Sutherland, Tuffey, Piermayr, Ross, Morrison, Doran.
