Preview: Hibs v Kilmarnock March 14 2008

Hibernian manager Mixu Paatelainen faces a midfield injury crisis ahead of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Kilmarnock.

Brian Kerr (ankle), Merouane Zemmama (knee) and Ross Chisholm (elbow) are all doubtful for the match at Easter Road, while Guillaume Beuzelin (knee) is again ruled out.

Ian Murray is also suspended after his red card in the midweek win over Motherwell, but Dean Shiels is back from a ban and Ross Campbell and Abdel Zarabi return to the squad.

Kilmarnock will be without Martyn Corrigan.

The former Motherwell defender has an ankle injury and Killie's attacking options could also be reduced.

Winger Allan Johnston has a calf injury and Paul Dalglish is carrying a groin problem, and both are doubtful.

Squads

Hibernian: Ma-Kalambay, McNeil, Hogg, Canning, Jones, Zarabi, McCann, Hanlon, Zemmama, Kerr, Morais, O'Brien, Chisholm, Shiels, Rankin, Fletcher, Nish, Campbell.

Kilmarnock: Combe, Lilley, Wright, Hay, Bryson, Fowler, Hamill, Invincibile, Taouil, Dalglish, Johnston, Fernandez, Harpur, Gibson, Di Giacomo, O'Leary, Clancy, Ford, Murray.
