Painful endgame for Gray as stale Hibs slump
A club hero, David Gray ends his time as Hibs head coach not to the sound of euphoria from fans, but to the sound of a support collectively exhaling in relief, writes Tom English.
David Gray, Hibernian's head coach, insists he will persist in finding solutions to the club's struggling performance until someone instructs him otherwise. This stance comes after Hibs suffered their sixth consecutive home defeat in the Scottish Premiership, falling to a 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock. The loss, compounded by the presence of a red card, has raised concerns among fans about Gray's ability to lead the team.
Former Hibs midfielder Scott Allan highlights the importance of Gray's upcoming match against Aberdeen, suggesting the result could be a "must-win" for both the manager and the fans. However, the atmosphere surrounding the match has already been tense, with some expressing doubts about Gray's continued management of the club.
Critics argue that Hibs have been lacking in crucial areas of the game, such as starting strong and creating goal-scoring opportunities. Former players like James McFadden and Scott Allan have pointed to the team's poor performance, suggesting that Gray's tactics and decision-making have been inadequate. The critics also question the club's management, with suggestions that both Gray and Malky MacKay, the club's director of football, may need to consider their future roles.
