Hibernian enters the match following consecutive league losses to Hearts and St Johnstone, as well as an exit from the Conference League after a defeat to Gent. Conversely, Ross County remains unbeaten in League One competition. Brian Graham enters the match in form for the hosts, having recorded nine goals across all competitions this season.

"Saturday's Premier Sports Cup visit to Ross County is a "huge game" for Hibernian head coach David Gray, says former Easter Road favourite Scott Allan. "There's no other way to look at it from a Hibs perspective," Allan told the BBC Scotland Football Podcast as his old team aim for a semi-final place. Gray's side have lost ground in the Premiership after back-to-back defeats to Hearts and St Johnstone, while a late collapse at home to Gent cost them a place in the Conference League.
