Aston Villa v Hibernian: Caretaker boss Gray looks for response after Johnson sacking

Hibernian are in a "very difficult" moment as they seek to restore pride after last week's Europa Conference League play-off first leg mauling by Aston Villa.

The Easter Road club were trounced 5-0 in Edinburgh before defeat to Livingston at the weekend cost manager Lee Johnson his job.

David Gray takes temporary charge of Hibs after Johnson's exit.

"It's very tough for everyone involved," said Gray.

"There is no time to be sorry for yourself. You can't affect anything that's happened previously. It's all about trying to amend the things as quickly as possible.
