Vrancken says Gray 'will bounce back and find good job'

Derby rival Wouter Vrancken foresees David Gray rebounding and securing a good job following Hibernian's head coach dismissal on Wednesday. The Scottish coach, Gray, contributed to the added pressure on the former Hibs captain during a 3-1 win at Easter Road in the recent Edinburgh derby. However, Vrancken empathized with Gray, acknowledging the difficulties of being in a managerial position.

He noted that the current Scottish Premiership standings place his team six places below their city rivals, Hearts. Vrancken emphasized that it's challenging to witness a colleague lose their job and expressed sadness over Gray's situation. Hibs are expected to appoint a permanent head coach in time for the upcoming match at Hampden on November 1st.

Despite this, Vrancken remains focused on regaining victory after his team's recent 2-1 defeat against Falkirk. He believes their upcoming game against Kilmarnock, following their own loss at Easter Road, would be a positive step forward. Vrancken highlighted the need for improvement both in terms of possession and overall decision-making, as well as a more proactive defensive approach.
