Ross County have been playing in League One and the Challenge Cup, winning six of their last eight matches.
They beat East Kilbride 4-0 on 29 August and Banks O' Dee 4-0 on 25 August, showing they can score multiple goals. However, those wins came against lower-league or non-league opposition, so the step up to face Hibernian is significant.
- Ross County won 4-0 against East Kilbride on 29 August 2026.
- Ross County won 4-0 against Banks O' Dee on 25 August 2026.
- Ross County won 3-1 against Airdrie United on 22 August 2026.
Ross County made major changes for Tuesday's KDM Evolution Trophy defeat to Aberdeen B, with Brian Graham, Jamie Lindsay and Adam Emslie among those left on the bench.
The midweek result came from a materially altered County selection, so it offers limited evidence of physical carry-over into this cup match. The players rested are likely to return, but the exact lineup remains uncertain.
- Aberdeen's official match report says Ross County made changes ahead of the Hibernian quarter-final.
- The report identifies Graham, Lindsay and Emslie as players who dropped to the bench.

Hibernian are a Premiership side and have been competing in the Europa Conference League as well.
They lost 2-1 to St Johnstone on 6 September and 3-1 to Hearts on 3 September, conceding five goals in those games. Those results were against top-flight opponents, so they may be more relevant than Ross County's lower-league wins.
- Hibernian lost 2-1 to St Johnstone on 6 September 2026.
- Hibernian lost 3-1 to Hearts on 3 September 2026.
