Overview
- The club dismissed Gray on Wednesday following Tuesday’s 1-0 home loss to Kilmarnock that left Hibs ninth in the Scottish Premiership with six points.
- Assistants Liam Craig and Craig Samson have also left and coach John Potter will take interim charge for the next match while a permanent appointment is sought.
- Hibs cited a sustained downturn in results and performances as the reason for the move after the club equalled a negative club record of six straight home league defeats.
- Gray ended a 12-year association with Hibernian having managed 107 games with 43 wins, delivered consecutive European qualifications and led the team to recent League Cup progress.
- The board’s action intensifies scrutiny of sporting director Malky Mackay and chief executive Dan Barnett and begins a search for Hibs’ sixth permanent head coach in under five years, with fan confidence and league form the immediate priorities.
