Team news ahead of Saturday's Scottish Cup quarter-final between Ayr and Hibernian at Somerset Park.

Ayr boss Brian Reid has gone with the same starting XI for United's last four matches and is unlikely to make any changes from the side that defeated Livingston 2-1 on Tuesday evening.

John Robertson, Martyn Campbell, Alan Trouten, and Sean Higgins all remain sidelined for the hosts.

Tom Soares and Calum Booth are set to be included in the Hibernian squad for the game after returning to training following a dead leg and Achilles problem, respectively, to ease Hibs' injury troubles.

Only winger Danny Galbraith (groin) and defender Ian Murray (hip) remain out.

Ayr (from): Cuthbert, Tiffoney, Dodd, Malone, Smith, Geggan, Moffat, Tomsett, Parker, Wardlaw, Roberts, McGowan, McWilliams, McKernon, Ross Robertson, Armstrong.

Hibernian (from): Stack, Francomb, Hanlon, McPake, Stephens, Booth, Sproule, Wotherspoon, Stevenson, Scott, Osbourne, Doyle, Claros, Kujabi, O'Donovan, Doherty, O'Connor, Griffiths, Soares, Brown, Towell.
