Overview
- Hibernian announced on Wednesday that they have dismissed David Gray six league games into the 2026/27 season after Tuesday's 1-0 home defeat to Kilmarnock.
- Assistants Liam Craig and Craig Samson have also left the club and first-team coach John Potter will take interim charge for the next match against Aberdeen.
- The club sit ninth in the Scottish Premiership with six points and have lost six consecutive home league games, a run that equals a club record dating back to 1920.
- Hibs were recently eliminated from the Europa Conference League play-off by Gent and missed out on the financial and profile benefits of group-stage qualification.
- Gray leaves after a 12-year association with the club, having overseen 107 matches as head coach with 43 wins, and his departure raises fresh questions about recruitment and sporting leadership as the club searches for its sixth permanent boss in under five years.
