Hibernian has dismissed head coach David Gray six games into the Scottish Premiership season following a series of poor performances and results. The team is currently ninth with only six points after losing their most recent match against Kilmarnock. Gray's 12-year tenure at Hibernian ended due to declining performance, including six consecutive home losses dating back to last season.

Story summary
Hibernian FC sacked head coach David Gray six games into the Scottish Premiership season on October 17, 2024, following a 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock, which left Hibs in ninth place with only six points. This decision came after a string of six consecutive home losses for the Edinburgh club, dating back to last season. Executive chairman Ian Gordon stated that the board made this tough decision due to poor recent results and performances. Gray, who had famously led Hibernian to Scottish Cup victory in 2016 by scoring the winning goal against Rangers, took over as head coach in May 2024 after previously serving three interim managerial stints. Assistant coaches Liam Craig and Craig Samson are also departing, while John Potter will take charge for Saturday's home game against Aberdeen.
