Overview
- Hibernian dismissed head coach David Gray on Wednesday following a 1-0 home loss to bottom‑placed Kilmarnock that left the club ninth in the Scottish Premiership.
- The club confirmed assistants Liam Craig and Craig Samson will leave and that coach John Potter will take interim charge for the next match against Aberdeen.
- The board said the decision was driven by a recent fall in performances after Hibs recorded six straight home league defeats stretching back to last season.
- Supporter unrest at Easter Road and pundit warnings about a worsening atmosphere contributed to the timing of the move and increased pressure on the club hierarchy.
- Commentators urged the board to review recruitment and the sporting structure — citing the sale of Kieron Bowie and reliance on loan signings — because appointing a new manager alone may not fix deeper problems.
