David Gray’s Hibernian were booed off in цер last week, but a rousing second‑leg display has his name ringing from the Easter Road rafters once more.

The head coach was under pressure after his side’s 2‑0 first‑leg defeat by Malisheva with Conference League hopes on the brink.

In the second half at Easter Road on Thursday, Hibs 4‑0 to the good on the night and on their way to an aggregate victory, Gray’s name was sung to the rafters.

With Martin Boyle dancing past defenders, the front three of Boyle, Owen Elding and Nathan Lowe dovetailed superbly.

Gray admitted the relief from last week was fleeting, saying the enjoyment of winning is only fleeting. He wants to carry momentum into chuva round and face Motherwell in the Premiership.

Despite missing key creative threats, Hibs showed that even against a European lightweight like Malisheva they can dominate, and the club’s supporters will expect the same intensity when they return to Easter Road in three days.
