Hibs head coach David Gray believes his players reacted well to last week’s defeat away at Kelty Hearts. 

And he was delighted with his side’s 4-0 victory over Peterhead thanks to a Lewis Miller double and goals from Rudi Molotnikov and Nathan Moriah-Welsh. 

Speaking to Hibs TV after the match, Gray showcased his enthusiasm as we approach the start of our Premiership campaign. 

“Job done and we topped the group, which is what we had to do today, and it was a good reaction from the disappointing result at Kelty Hearts last week. 

“We could have been a couple of more goals in front, and we mentioned that at half-time.  

“We can’t have 6 or 7 chances to convert but it was really positive, and I’m delighted with the win and we’re in the next round of the cup.” 

Hibs face St. Mirren next Sunday as they begin our Premiership campaign, a fixture that Gray and his squad are fully prepared for. 

“Full focus now changes to the first league game of the season away to St. Mirren. 

“It’s a completely different challenge to what we faced in the Group Stages of the cup so far and we’ll make sure everyone is aware of that. 

“We’re looking forward to it.”
