David Gray has received praise after just one week as coach of Hibernian. Last week, his team faced the wrath of the crowd after a disappointing performance in Kosovo, when they lost 2–0 in the first leg against Malysheva. But Hibs produced a brilliant performance in the second leg at Easter Road, winning 4–1.

The spectators clearly expressed their disappointment with the team's performance, but Gray said both the result and his style were unacceptable. He said the only way to counter the doubters is to perform on the field.

In the second half of this match, Hibs played quickly and overcame a two-goal deficit in 15 minutes. Under the leadership of Martin Boyle, the team played brilliantly and soon turned the situation in its favor. Boyle scored a goal and played some extraordinary passes to give the team a 4–0 lead.

Although Malysheva scored a goal in the end, Gray tried to focus on the positives. He said, "The intensity with which we talked about playing, we play with the intention of progressing from the beginning. I had seen it in training and the players worked hard today to win."

Gray also acknowledged that the joy of victory was only momentary after last week's disappointment. He said, "For a coach, the experience of victory is different from that of players. There is a feeling of relief, and then the next match comes. You feel it only for two minutes."

Although Hibs were without some key players such as Jamie McGrath and Nikki Cadden, the three main players of the team combined to perform brilliantly. Gray said that he has good options to play forward and his team showed good coordination in this match.

It's important to note that Malysheva is a team Hibs should have beaten. They have never won outside of Kosovo in three seasons in Europe. Gray said that it is important that his team continues the enthusiasm of this victory in the next match also.

“We are into the next round and can take this excitement against Motherwell,” Gray said. “We're ready for Thursday-Sunday-Thursday, and that's what we've prepared for in the preseason.”

What will happen next

Hibernian will now need continued good performances to cement their place in the next round. To progress in the Conference League, they will have to maintain their aggressive style and carry the positives from the last match into the next fixtures. Under Gray's leadership, the team hopes to continue this momentum.
