Hibernian head coach David Gray was full of praise for his team after a comfortable Premier Sports Cup victory away to Ross County. "I'm delighted for the players, they fully deserved it for what they put in today," Gray told BBC Scotland. "It was a really difficult situation when you think about the noise before the game and playing against a side that are in my view, in a false position, in terms of the quality they've got."
