Hibernian have sacked head coach David Gray with the club ninth in the Scottish Premiership. It follows a fourth league defeat in six games this season as Hibs lost to bottom side Kilmarnock on Tuesday.

Despite progressing to the League Cup semi-finals, Hibs were also knocked out of Europe after a Conference League play-off defeat to Gent. Stretching back to last season, the Easter Road side have now lost six consecutive league games at home, equalling a club record last seen in 1920.

Gray was appointed on a permanent basis in June 2024, signing a three-year deal after his fourth stint in interim charge. The 38-year-old became a club legend when he scored the winner against Rangers in 2016 to end their 114-year wait to lift the Scottish Cup. His start in the dugout was positive with a third-place finish in the 2024/25 campaign, while Hibs finished fifth last season. However, with the team now two points off the bottom, the Easter Road hierarchy has decided it is time for change again.

Coach John Potter will take interim charge for Saturday's match against Aberdeen, with Hibs adding in a statement they "will announce a new permanent head coach in due course". Executive chairman Ian Gordon said: "Dave has been an inspirational figure... Ultimately, this is a decision that we have not taken lightly, but unfortunately, one as a board we had to make due to the recent downturn of results and performances."
