Team news for Sunday's SPL clash between Hibernian and Kilmarnock at Easter Road.

Goalkeeper Graham Stack is out as Scottish Cup finalists Hibernian bid to enhance their claim for SPL survival.

Stack tore a thigh muscle in last Saturday's Scottish Cup semi-final win over Aberdeen and will miss the remainder of the season, meaning Mark Brown is set to start against Killie, with academy player Paul Grant on the bench.

Tom Soares (Achilles) is a doubt but his fellow midfielder Lewis Stevenson is available again after missing the Hampden trip through suspension.

Kilmarnock will be without strikers Paul Heffernan and Dieter van Tornhout in Edinburgh.

Heffernan suffered a groin injury in training on Friday and van Tornhout has a hip flexor/hamstring problem.

Midfielder Garry Hay is also missing with a knee injury, joining Danny Buijs (hamstring), Ryan O'Leary (knee) and Manuel Pascali (broken leg) on the sidelines.

Hibernian (from): Brown, McPake, Kujabi, Hanlon, Doherty, Towell, Soares, Sproule, Stevenson, Osbourne, Griffiths, O'Donovan, O'Connor, Doyle, Francomb, Grant, Claros, O'Hanlon, Murray, Galbraith, Wotherspoon.

Kilmarnock (from): Bell, Toshney, Fowler, Nelson, Kelly, Sissoko, Shiels, Gordon, Harkins, Johnson, Johnston, Gros, Letheren, Dayton, Racchi, Pursehouse, Kennedy, McKeown.
