David Gray spoke to the media after Hibs beat Edinburgh City 5-0 at Meadowbank. Here's everything the head coach had to say...

Was that a good exercise for the players?

"The big thing is that it’s been a hard week for the players, even three sessions on Friday so with the mental side of that and to push through it and come through the game unscathed was great. It was a good end to a good week."

Were you pleased for Harry getting on the scoresheet?

"I thought he did well, I thought everybody did well. The biggest thing for me was the application from everyone, the clean sheet and to win the game.

Do you see a successful future here for him?

"You see the ability he's got, he does that everyday in training and applies himself really well. He has come back in really good condition and started the season well so you can clearly see he has that quality and it’s up to him to keep pushing every single day. He is a brilliant trainer and works really hard, you can see the quality he’s got. It’s probably not gone the way he wanted it to go when he first joined the club but he recognises what is in front of him and it’s up to him to work as hard as he can and up to us as staff to get the best out of him.

Is it a fresh start for all these guys who have been out of the picture?

“Yeah, I said this at the start, that I do know every player inside out. That’s the benefit of me being in this position. I know their strengths and weaknesses. But the players we’ve got, they’ve all got opportunities to impress. Regardless of whether that’s now or in any game, every time you go on the training pitch, you’ve got a responsibility to be the best you can be. That’s the important bit, that every player does that every day – because being judged every day is part of being a professional footballer."

A first outing for Josef Bursik but was it too early for Warren O'Hora and Marvin Ekpiteta?

“It’s just the timing on when people joined the club. Obviously, Josef played today and it’s great to get 45 minutes; he’s stepped it up this week. The other two additions are slightly behind on that one and we’ve got international players coming back, so there’s a slightly split group, with those guys training separately this morning. But we’ll all come together on Monday morning. Elie Youan trained at HTC this morning, came through that really well.”
