David Gray sensed the professional pride of his Hibernian players coming to the fore as they bounced back from their 2-0 humbling in Kosovo by swatting aside Malisheva 4-1 in a largely one-sided Conference League second qualifying round second leg at Easter Road. Gray detected a desire within his players to prove to their critics that the first leg was merely a blip. “Nobody enjoys losing games of football, especially the criticism that then comes off the back of it,” said the manager. “I thought the players were outstanding, especially how they started the game,” he said. I thought the front three were really lively all night, hit the woodwork a few times as well.
