What they're saying

"
Hibs' dismissal of club legend David Gray was "the right call", admits former Easter Road forward Tam McManus. "You could hear the fans at the end and when you hear that kind of anger at the end of a Hibs game, you know it's probably the end for the manager, so it is no surprise David has lost his job."
