Aberdeen: Lewis, Logan, Shinnie, Considine, Taylor, Reynolds, McLean, Christie, Rooney, Hayes, Jack
Subs: Alexander, McGinn, O'Connor, Pawlett, Stockley, Wright, Storey

**number9dream** · 22-04-2017 10:30 AM

No McGinn (for them!) - on the bench - that will have the Sheep fans worried, although Christie is pretty handy. Reynolds back in defence. He's much quicker than O'Connor but he's been out for a while, so maybe rusty...

**number9dream** · 22-04-2017 10:31 AM

Marciano, Gray, McGregor, Ambrose, Stevenson, Boyle, McGinn, Bartley, Fyvie, McGeouch, Cummings

**number9dream** · 22-04-2017 10:32 AM

Fyvie and Bartley, with Shinnie dropping out... A solid bank of four across the middle.

**number9dream** · 22-04-2017 10:34 AM

Substitutes: Laidlaw, Holt, Keatings, Shinnie, Forster, Humphrey, Graham

Humph back, No Harris...

**ruthven_raiders** · 22-04-2017 10:36 AM

Going to be a lot of Hibs supporters missing the start, we've been stuck for a nearly an hour trying to get off at Polmadie

**TheGreenMan** · 22-04-2017 10:36 AM

What formation the sheep playing?

**~~Speedway~~** · 22-04-2017 10:38 AM

5 attackers on the bench

***Pedantic_Hibee*** · 22-04-2017 10:39 AM

Jimmy Calderwood slowly but surely completing his transformation into a baked bean.

***Diclonius*** · 22-04-2017 10:40 AM

Guessing McGeouch and McGinn are playing as wide midfielders?

**21sMay** · 22-04-2017 10:41 AM

Pretty gutted Harris isnt on the bench . Really thought if things weren't going out way then he could have been a but if a of secret weapon

***DarlingtonHibee*** · 22-04-2017 10:44 AM

Good luck to the team today, like the line up.

**~~IGRIGI~~** · 22-04-2017 10:47 AM

Happy with that line up, very strong midfield and strong bench allowing us options to either running ragged or bulldozing through a tired sheep defence later on.

Mon the Hibs

**number9dream** · 22-04-2017 10:49 AM

Not sure about Bartley & Fyvie together since it doesn't give us much to link midfield an attack. McGinn and McGeouch also best in the middle but it might be best to stop Aberdeen getting off to a strong start.
Boyle can run himself into the ground for an hour, then get Shinnie and Humph on...

**IanM** · 22-04-2017 10:50 AM

As the hibs go marching on!!

Come on ma laddoes!! #twoinarow

**Pretty Boy** · 22-04-2017 10:59 AM

I can't be the only ones getting the chills seeing the David Gray end again. Properly emotional.

***GlesgaeHibby*** · 22-04-2017 11:01 AM

Here we go...

Let's get stuck into them.

Took a wee fiver bet on Hibs and BTTS at 17/2.

***FitbaFolkKen*** · 22-04-2017 11:03 AM

Missing out as I've been really unwell the last 8/9 hours, so my seat is empty :( - come on Hibs put a smile on my pus!

**IanM** · 22-04-2017 11:05 AM

Really felt for Bartley watching the Time for Heroes DVD as he didn't think he had done much wrong last season and he was visually heartbroken to miss out. What a chance he has today to get us to this final and cement his place in the final side

Want him to stroll through this game and have that Aberdeen frontline and midfield in his pocket

***Carheenlea*** · 22-04-2017 11:07 AM

A lot of fans still to get in before KO - hopefully traffic not causing too much of a problem.

**IanM** · 22-04-2017 11:07 AM

Mciness changed his side to keep the treat of Cummings out. Hopefully he's underestimated the pace of Boyle and skill of mcginn as that's where our threat today really is

***wookie70*** · 22-04-2017 11:09 AM

Can't remember Fyvie and Bartley working before but let's hope today's the day. Lennon has went for it in the big games but far more concervative today.
