Gray on 'huge' Motherwell clash, Pro Licence progress & Mulligan latest
Hibernian head coach David Gray has been speaking to the media as his side prepare for Saturday's Premiership trip to Motherwell . Here are the main points: Gray says the squad is "really strong, really healthy" and has been boosted by the return of Josh Mulligan to training although the midfielder is unlikely to be back before the split. The Hibs head coach knows tomorrow's game against Motherwell is "huge" and says the six-point difference between the sides is "all the motivation the players should need".
Although the game is "not a must win because there are still 24 points to play for" he does admit every game between now and the end of the season "feels massive". On Jens Berthel Askou, Gray says he knows he is up against a "quality manager" and while Motherwell are "a really good side", the Hibs boss feels his side "are a very good team too". The 36-year-old says he is "very close" to completing his Uefa Pro Licence course - "I'm constantly trying to better myself and any little nuggets of information you can get can only put you in the right direction".
Former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou was one of the speakers at the course and Gray says the Australian was "really refreshing to listen to". On Ante Suto's maiden call-up to the Australia squad, Gray says "his impact speaks for itself" adding that national team call-ups are "the carrot of playing for this football club". Team news: Rudi Molotnikov is out with an ankle injury.
