David Gray reacts to Hibs’ fifth place finish #hibs #spfl David Gray on ‘What if?’ Hibs season in the Scottish Premiership. "The league doesn't lie. Motherwell over 38 games have finished above Hibs deservedly so."
David Gray reflects on Hibernian's season after the 0-1 home defeat to Motherwell secured 5th place — but there's huge news for Hibs fans on Martin Boyle's future, plus the manager's verdict on the "what if?" moments.
🟦 THE HEADLINE NEWS — MARTIN BOYLE STAYING:
"Boyle will be staying for another year. Not only what he gives you on the pitch but also off it around about every single day — someone that's constantly delivered for the club."
• Boyle has signed an extension — confirmed
• "Great work done with his representatives, the football club, and Ian Gordon"
• "He's just felt it's right for him and his family"
🟦 GRAY'S KEY BEATS:
• "Biggest disappointment is how we started the game"
• "That was our cup final today"
• "I'm sure every coach will look and go — what if there? What if here?"
• "League doesn't lie. Celtic have won the league. Motherwell finished above Hibs deservedly so"
• "If we'd won at home against Motherwell we'd have been above them"
• On Hearts: "Look how far Hearts have pushed Celtic right to the very end today — how tight the league was"
• "Home form post-split — that's the bit going to sting for me the most"
• "We won two away games, lost three at home" — final-five-game record
• "Self-inflicted things — 10 men, nine men at times"
• "No time to waste — pre-season starts now"
🟦 THE 5TH-PLACE FINAL TABLE CONTEXT:
- Celtic 1st (56th title — confirmed today vs Hearts)
- Hibs finished 5th after Hibs 0-1 Motherwell on final day
- Motherwell finished 4th — European football
- Gap to Motherwell: 1-2 points (per Gray's "a point worse off maybe")
