Hibs Head Coach, David Gray says there is a positive feeling amongst his players ahead of the game against Queen’s Park tonight. 

It will be Gray’s first match at Easter Road after getting off to a winning start to his tenure away at Elgin on Saturday. 

Goals from Marvin Ekpiteta, Martin Boyle and a Dylan Vente hat-trick secured a comfortable victory in the Highlands and Gray insists his team can use the performance as a springboard for further success. 

He said: “The attention quickly changes to Queen’s Park on Tuesday night.  

“We have a quick turnaround but the lads are all back in the building and feeling positive off the back of a really positive performance. 

“The recovery after Saturday was really important for us. We got back down the road and came back in for a full recovery protocol on Sunday, with the players that didn’t play doing a full training session – making sure that everyone is ready to go on Tuesday night. 

“It was important to win the game, but to win the game in the manner that we did was excellent. The challenge will be very different on Tuesday however, Queen’s Park are a very good side, they like to have control of the ball and I know their manager (Callum Davidson) well – he will have them fired up for this game.”
