Head coach David Gray has been speaking to the media before Hibs face Celtic in the Premiership this weekend.

Here are the main lines:

  • Gray says everyone has to take responsibility for performances and “it’s my responsibility for results clearly” after six games without a win.

  • On the concession of late first-half goals in recent games, the head coach does not want to “shy away from it” and has discussed it with the squad.

  • But he is wary of players “looking at the clock and worrying about” it during games.

  • Gray questions the notion that the timing of the lost goals is the issue, suggesting the defending has not been good enough.

  • He adds: “I would be really disappointed with the goals we’re losing anyway. And as a group we’re disappointed in these moments. So that’s the biggest bit. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the first minute or the last minute.”

  • Gray insists Hibs’ form is “no disaster” and points out they are still unbeaten in the league.

  • Celtic are “a fantastic team” with “fantastic individuals” and Hibs must “raise their game” to meet the challenge.

  • Gray adds: “The one thing domestically that we’ve probably not done yet is put a complete performance in.”

  • Hibs have no fresh injury concerns.
