Elgin v Hibernian: free betting tips, preview & where to watch

TV: BT Sport 1, 7.45pm Friday

Hibs can ease past Elgin in what could be an entertaining encounter at Borough Briggs.

Paul Heckingbottom's side have looked rusty in the Betfred Cup so far, but blew some of those pre-season cobwebs away with a routine midweek win over Arbroath.

Elgin have started the season full of confidence though and the Ladbrokes League Two side will fancy their chances of at least giving the capital club a game.

It's hard to see Gavin Price's side having the players to actually defeat Hibs, but they could easily score, with Shane Sutherland notching in every game since his Elgin return.
