Hibs head coach David Gray said that yesterday’s draw with Kilmarnock “feels like two points dropped.”
Martin Boyle gave Hibs the lead in the first half, but we were denied all three points by a 92nd minute strike from Fraser Murray.
When speaking after the game, Gray described his emotions.
“Immediately frustration is there because it feels like two points dropped, especially when you concede a goal right at the very end of the game, and because of how I felt we played.
“I thought we were very good; we played at the right times and showed bravery on the ball, especially on a difficult pitch. This is a tough place to come and play.
“When you’re only 1-0 up you run the risk of being pegged back, and unfortunately, we got hit at the very end there. We needed to defend that action better.
“For 90 minutes or however long we were in front, I felt like we were in complete control. It feels like two points dropped, but like I said, this isn’t an easy place to come, their home record speaks for itself, so a point here is never a bad point.
“Hopefully it’s a point closer to where we need to be, and at the end of the season it might be a massive point. We need to look at the positives.”
That draw means Hibs are now 14 games unbeaten in the Scottish top-flight, and it’s another point on the board as we move closer to the split.
“When you look at the other results today, it is a point closer to where we need to be. Saying that, because of the other results, there’s still that feeling that you’ve dropped two points.
“There are now three games to go before the split, two at home, and one away, we’re in a strong position, and need to keep moving forward.
“14 league games unbeaten is a fantastic achievement, but we want to make that 15.
“We have a break now, so we will use that to get a bit of freshness into the players’ legs because it’s been a gruelling period. We go into the break in a positive vein of form.”
