Hibernian manager David Gray finds himself on the brink of losing his job after a dire first half against St Mirren at Easter Road, with his side trailing 2-0 at the break. The defeat leaves Hibs rooted to the bottom of the Scottish Premiership table, and with the pressure mounting, Gray’s future at the club is hanging in the balance.
If Gray is relieved of his duties, it would lead to significant changes for Celtic midfielder Kwon, who is currently on loan at Hibs for the remainder of the season. The South Korean defensive midfielder, who joined Hibernian to gain more first-team experience, could face yet another managerial change, further destabilizing his time in Edinburgh. Kwon has made 9 appearances this season, which matches the number of games he played during a loan spell at St Mirren last season, but the South Korean is unlikely to be enjoying the club’s struggles at the bottom of the league.
Hibs have endured a poor start to the season, and Gray has faced increasing scrutiny from fans and the club’s hierarchy. The Black Knights, a group that has become more involved in the club’s operations, have been working closely with Malky Mackay, and last month saw Derek White, the club’s Head of Football Operations, depart. This has added further uncertainty to the club’s structure, as Gray fights to turn things around.
Hibernian’s dismal form has led to growing discontent among the supporters, and they are unlikely to tolerate another defeat, especially with the team heading into the November international break in such a precarious position. Gray will be acutely aware that he must secure positive results soon, or he could become the latest managerial casualty at a club that is desperately trying to avoid relegation.
