Hibs are aiming to extend their good run of festive form against Kilmarnock at Easter Road this afternoon.
Fresh off the back of a massive Edinburgh derby win over Hearts at Tynecastle, David Gray is a man reborn after a huge struggle to get results at the start of the season.
Hibs have won their last three consecutive games and performances have drastically improved, particularly against the Jambos when they were by far the better team.
The same can be said about Kilmarnock against Aberdeen on Boxing Day as they utterly outclassed Jimmy Thelin’s men at Rugby Park.
Derek McInnes is also managing to get the best out of his players after a tricky start to the season and Killie are now unbeaten in four heading into the meeting with Hibs at Easter Road.
Not The Old Firm delivers the confirmed Hibs vs Kilmarnock team news below.
