Hibs Coach David Gray Discusses Team Confidence, Turning Point, and Player Conduct

David Gray, the head coach for Hibs, addressed reporters ahead of his team’s upcoming match against Motherwell this weekend. Key statements from his briefing include: Gray indicated that the team has gained confidence following their dramatic 3-3 draw against Aberdeen, a match where Hibs netted two goals during stoppage time. He noted that his team “have been on the end of what happened too many times.” He emphasized the importance of “remember the feeling” from Tuesday evening and carrying that momentum into the upcoming weekend fixture. He described Motherwell as presenting a “completely different challenge” compared to Aberdeen. Regarding his players, Gray stated: “They’ve been questioned a lot about character in recent weeks but they’ve definitely handled the critics.” He maintained that the outcome against Aberdeen should serve as the season’s turning point, commenting that it will be “a lot easier going into a game feeling better about yourselves.” Addressing the social media interaction between Elie Youan and former captain Marvin Bartley, Gray asserted that he has “too much on my mind” to be concerned with the matter, adding that “as long as I get what I need from him on the pitch, I’m not worried.”
