News about David Gray

HIBERNIAN have held clear-the-air talks with major shareholder Bill Foley in the United States. Head of recruitment Ian Gordon and chief executive Ben Kensell flew to Las Vegas during the international break to meet the Bournemouth owner, his representative on the Easter Road board Ryan Caswell and Tim Bezbatchenko, president of Black Knight Football Club.

As part of the countdown to their 150th birthday next year, Hibs fans have been asked how they would like to celebrate such a landmark season in the history of their great club. A commemorative strip perhaps? A gala dinner? To the surprise of nobody who has seen and regretted Hibs' soulless slide into the corporate world, a 'very special range of merchandise' is already in the pipeline. What the club and its fans hadn't bargained for as they prepare to get out the party hats and the streamers is a relegation battle. And worse still the prospect of spending their anniversary season in the Championship.

The term deja vu - first coined by French philosopher Emile Boirac in 1876 - describes the rather bizarre sensation of recalling an event or moment in the present, when logic dictates it simply can't be possible. According to the general consensus amongst experts, around two thirds of us will experience the phenomenon at some point in our lives. For anyone associated with Hibernian Football Club, however, that figure probably seems a little low. After all, deja vu seems like a weekly occurrence for fans of the Easter Road club these days.

Inverness Caley Thistle will step gingerly into what should be a bright new era this weekend - bruised and battered, but with a healthy mixture of relief and optimism. Like a patient given the all-clear after a life-threatening illness, the Highland club whose very existence was in jeopardy have been handed a second chance that they are keen to make the most of. They start that process with a 135-mile trip to Kelty Hearts, where just three months ago Inverness proposed to set up their training base, a cost-cutting measure that infuriated supporters. It was the nadir of a desperate time for the club.

The trick to playing with fire is ensuring that you don't get your fingers burned. Despite a summer where transfer activity has moved at a glacial pace, Celtic have simply picked up where they left off last term. A second successive victory of the Premiership season for Brendan Rodgers' players was achieved with far more ease then the final scoreline might suggest.

Hibernian will host Celtic in the second round of the Scottish Premiership on Sunday lunchtime at Easter Road. David Gray's side are looking to bounce back from their 3-0 defeat by St Mirren in the opening day of the league season.  Meanwhile, Celtic got their 2024-25 campaign off to a good start, beating Kilmarnock 4-0. 

After a summer which promised so much yet delivered so little, Scottish football fans are daring to dream all over again this weekend as the 2024/25 season gets under way. With memories of the national team's dismal showing at Euro 2024 now thankfully fading away into the distance, the responsibility for raising our spirits and keeping us all happy has been handed back to the clubs for the time being. Good luck folks... Celtic, of course, come into the new season as overwhelming favourites to retain their top-flight crown. Brendan Rodgers' side huffed and puffed their way through most of the previous campaign, but ultimately prevailed to secure their 12th championship in 13 years.

According to new Hibernian head coach Nick Montgomery, Ange Postecoglou's success at Celtic has paved the way for coaches to migrate to the United Kingdom from Australia. The former Sheffield United midfielder is Hibs' fourth manager in the space of four years, but chief executive Ben Kensell, the son of late chairman Ron Johnson, hopes that the appointment would bring the dugout some much-needed calm.

On Wednesday, British singer David Gray was seen outing his dogs in a London park for the first time. After wrapping up a nine-day tour earlier this month, the Grammy-nominated hitmaker, 54, took a casual stroll with his pugs. David tweeted: 'A farewell to these islands after being so excited for so many months, the Skellig Tour is now all finished and dusted after just 9 days and 6 shows.

We were scammed through our financial app, with £25,000 taken from our Lloyds account. We were refused to pay us back by the bank, so we filed a complaint. My husband has been chasing Lloyds for years, but it seems that nothing is being achieved. It's been four weeks since the incident, and waiting is detrimental to our health and well-being.
