St Johnstone v Dundee Utd - updates from McDiarmid

Hibs manager Marink Reedjijk tells BBC Scotland he wants Easter Road to be more of a fortress, starting today with his Leith debut.

"I'm very much looking forward to having the first game at Easter Road for myself and the staff as well," he says. "I'm looking forward to seeing where we're at as well compared to last week.

"It's important to win, but it's also important we show a certain braveness, front-foot defending, front-foot attacking and that we have an atmosphere in the stadium, which is like Easter Road has to be."

Despite club captain Martin Boyle regaining his place in the starting XI, Felix Passlack retains the armband for the visit of Falkirk, as he did at Tannadice last week.

"Felix did a very good job last week. I spoke with Martin about this, so we're going to continue in this way. At the moment, I see Felix as the captain on the pitch," Reejijk added.

It's a big day for Marink Reedijk, the news Hibs manager: his first match at his new Easter Road home.

He makes three changes from the side that lost away to Dundee United last week: wing-back Adam Mayor, midfielder Azeem Abdulai and forward Martin Boyle come in for Jack Iredale, Callum Wright and Ante Suto respectively.

New signing Rabbi Matondo, the former Rangers and Brann winger, is on the bench once again.
