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

David Gray's Hibs will face Shkendija in the Conference League third qualifying round after hitting back to beat Malisheva David Gray has gone from being slated to serenaded by Hibernian fans in the space of seven days. Make no mistake, the head coach was under pressure after his side's torrid display in Kosovo last week. Supporters who had travelled to eastern Europe made it abundantly clear what they thought of their team's 2-0 first-leg defeat by Malisheva with their Conference League hopes on the brink. The head coach stressed the result - and the manner of it - were unacceptable, but the only way to answer doubters is on the park. In the second half at Easter Road on Thursday, with Hibs four goals to the good on the night and on their way to an aggregate victory, Gray's name was sung to the rafters. His iconic status is untouchable. That's what a winning goal in a Scottish Cup final win does, but these chants were not for his Hampden heroics as a player, rather for the way his team had responded to adversity. They flew out of the blocks, led by the evergreen Martin Boyle, and had wiped out the two-goal deficit within 15 minutes.
