Gray Focused On Sending Fans Home Happy

David Gray has urged his players to send the travelling Hibs fans home happy on Saturday.

There’s now over 900 Hibees making the long journey up to Pittodrie to support Gray’s men as we go into a busy Christmas period.

Throughout his career our Head Coach has fond memories of Hibs away fans, and he hopes to create more this weekend.

“I remember going up there last year and seeing them travel in their numbers. Hopefully we can send them back down the road very happy.

“They’ll be very important during the game; we’ll need them right behind us – like they always are – and hopefully we can put in a performance for them.”

We drew 3-3 with Aberdeen at Easter Road at the end of November – a game that has been seen as a turning point in our season.

Whilst Gray expects a different challenge at Pittodrie, he’s demanding the same level of work ethic and application from his side this weekend.

“It’ll be a different game than the one at Easter Road. It’ll be a full house at Pittodrie and the expectation will be on them, which is good, and we need to use that to our advantage.

“We need to remember how we played against them. I felt we deserved to win the game, but we let ourselves down in certain moments. We looked at that game very closely and seen where we can improve.

“The focus has been on that and the areas we can hurt them. We know we can do that, we’ve demonstrated that, but we need to be at our very best to do that.”
