St Mirren's Billy Mehmet is hoping to be given a regular chance to shine by Buddies manager Gus MacPherson.
Mehmet was given 45 minutes in the goalless draw with Dunfermline Athletic last weekend and hopes to earn a start against Hibs - in the likely absence of John Sutton and Stewart Kean.
He told the Evening Times: "I wasn't expecting to be involved, so to get even 45 minutes was great. Hopefully I can stay in the side now.
"I would love to be involved from the start at Easter Road this weekend. I have confidence in my ability."
