Hibernian have sacked head coach David Gray just six matches into the Scottish Premiership season, ending his 12-year association with the Easter Road club.
The decision brings to a close a long tenure for the former club captain, who transitioned from a key figure on the pitch to taking charge of the first team as head coach.
Decision follows early-season struggle
According to reporting by BBC Sport, the dismissal comes following a difficult period for the Scottish top-flight side, with performance levels slumping early in the domestic campaign.
Analysis from BBC Sport's Tom English noted that Gray's departure marks a painful conclusion for a club hero, with supporters exhaling in relief rather than celebrating his exit following recent poor results.
End of a long era at Easter Road
Gray had spent 12 years at Hibernian in total, having previously served as team captain before stepping into management.
Further details regarding the search for a permanent successor or interim coaching staff have not been formally confirmed.
