Hibs could move into the top six of the Premiership this afternoon if they manage to overcome bottom club St Johnstone.
A win would take David Gray’s men to 27 points and depending on other results, that could be enough to see them rise to as high as fifth.
Hibs have been in dominant form of late with five victories from their last six outings and a match against the league’s worst side delivers an opportunity to collect yet another three points.
St Johnstone are really struggling under new boss Simo Valakari and haven’t tasted victory since the end of November against Kilmarnock.
They are already three points adrift at the foot of the Premiership and another defeat could widen that gap even further.
