Hibernian v Inverness match preview

Hibernian can use their superior firepower to see off Inverness and reach the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-finals.

The defensive frailties of Jack Ross's side were exposed again last week against Livingston when they let slip a lead and they face a Caley Thistle unit who boast a good record at Easter Road.

Inverness are 18 points behind leaders Dundee United in the Ladbrokes Championship and have lost nine times in the league alone so there is a significant gulf in class between these teams.

But John Robertson's men rarely go down without a fight and given Hibs's generosity at the back – even BSC Glasgow netted against them – a win for the hosts with both sides scoring looks the call.

Key stat

Hibs have kept just one clean sheet in their last seven games.
