Hibs Coach David Gray Discusses Team’s Form, Upcoming Celtic Match, and New Recruitment Head

Hibernian head coach David Gray addressed reporters ahead of his team’s scheduled match against Celtic this Saturday. The following are the main points from his press conference: Gray emphasized the importance of the team needing to “believe in what we’re doing” and credited the players for their commitment to this approach. He described the 96th-minute equalizer against Aberdeen as a “massive moment” for the team’s confidence, which Hibs subsequently carried into their win over Motherwell. Gray stated that he “would have been much more concerned” if Hibs had not been generating scoring opportunities during their recent difficult spell. Nevertheless, he acknowledged that they have “not completely turned the corner,” and his primary objective remains “changing the league position, results, and performances.” While Celtic is widely anticipated to secure a victory, Gray expressed his desire for his team to have self-belief and attempt to achieve an unexpected result. He mentioned that many members of the Hibs squad aspire to reach the “highest level,” making this match against Champions League players a valuable test for them. Regarding Garvan Stewart, who was named the club’s head of recruitment earlier this week, Gray commented: “He comes with vast knowledge and experience in that area, a great addition for the club.”
