David Gray insists Hibs can’t afford to be spooked by their position after claiming his players and Hearts were both gripped by fear in Sunday’s derby stalemate.
The Easter Road boss reckons the capital clash was ridden with heebie-jeebies as the two sides locked at the bottom of the table scrapped their way to a point apiece.
But Gray hopes a pre-Halloween trip to Ross County can be the platform for Hibs to loosen the shackles and end the horror run that’s seen them plunge to the Premiership’s basement.
They’re still rooted to 12th spot after James Wilson’s 87th minute equaliser deprived them of a much needed victory. But Gray is convinced the point made against the Jambos can still be a positive after they dug in to avoid the nightmare that had seen them ship all three points in injury time at Dundee United a week earlier.
