David Gray is STAYING at Hibernian, despite having the Leith club languishing bottom of the Scottish Premiership.

A statement on Monday evening read: "We are disappointed with the poor start to our current season like all Hibernian FC supporters.
"Following the weekend’s result, we have held discussions as a group addressing how we move forward.
"We continue to work tirelessly in our quest to improve our performance and achieve the results we need on the pitch.
"Through this challenging time, we support our Head Coach David Gray and his management team. All departments are under pressure to deliver.
"We recognise that this is a hard time for our supporters, and we know we can do better. Together, with Black Knight Football, we are working hard to make that happen."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
