Hibs Coach David Gray Sees Aberdeen Draw as Potential ‘Turning Point’

A 3-3 draw against Aberdeen was achieved by Hibs thanks to Rocky Bushiri’s goal in the 96th minute. David Gray, the head coach, expressed his hope that this eventful match against a strong Aberdeen side could mark a pivotal moment in Hibs’ challenging season, as the team aims to climb from the bottom of the league standings this Saturday. During the midweek fixture, Gray’s squad twice recovered from being a goal behind. Nicky Cadden and Rocky Bushiri both scored during injury time in what was a thrilling encounter featuring six goals. Hibs currently share the same points total as their Edinburgh rivals, Hearts. The team is scheduled to play an away match against Motherwell on Saturday. Head coach Gray commented on the recent game, stating: “It was a much more positive feeling coming into work [on Wednesday].” He continued, “We’ve been on the receiving end of what happened in the game too many times this season. “So for it to be reversed and have a little bit of a good feeling at the end of the game is something the players deserved and something we have to take into the game at the weekend.” Gray emphasized the need for continuity, adding, “We need to use it as a turning point for the season, you can’t just do that once. It’s about backing it up because of where we find ourselves in the league.” He concluded by highlighting the psychological benefit: “But it’s a lot easier going into a game if you feel a lot better about yourselves. The way the game ended and the feeling after the game helps you feel a lot better mentally.”
