David Gray "will bounce back and find a good job", derby rival Wouter Vrancken has predicted after the Scottish head coach's dismissal by Hibernian on Wednesday. The Hearts boss played his part in heaping pressure on the former Hibs captain with a 3-1 win at Easter Road in this month's Edinburgh derby. "The sympathy I feel is also because, when you're in the job, you know how hard it is, and how difficult the situations can be," Vrancken said.
