Dwight Gayle Commends Hibs’ Character in Ross County Victory

Dwight Gayle stated that the Hibs squad demonstrated its inherent “character” during Saturday’s 3-1 triumph over Ross County, despite acknowledging that the team was not performing at its peak. Gayle’s header in the final moments of the first half at Easter Road initiated the comeback for David Gray’s squad, a result that also moved them out of the last position in the Scottish Premiership standings. The forward, who previously played for Newcastle and Crystal Palace, expressed his conviction that Hibs’ performances over the past two weeks indicate their capability to avoid a relegation struggle. “It’s difficult to win a game of football when things are the way they are at the bottom of the table,” he said. “We have great character in there and we have been waiting for the opportunity to turn things around. The last two weeks have been a lot better.” “We have played a lot better this season and haven’t got the three points but that was the most important thing today. Conceding early wasn’t in our plans but we reacted to it and obviously got the result in the end.”
