David Gray is STAYING at Hibernian, despite having the Leith club languishing bottom of the Scottish Premiership.
The Hibees were beaten 2-1 by St Mirren at Easter Road on Saturday to continue a seven-game winless run in all competitions.
Gray, 36, is a club legend but his spell in charge hasn't gone to plan so far.
Despite their troubles and the international break proving a good time to take stock, the Hibs hierarchy have decided to give him a vote of confidence with one clear message - things must improve.

A statement on Monday evening read: "We are disappointed with the poor start to our current season like all Hibernian FC supporters.
"Following the weekend’s result, we have held discussions as a group addressing how we move forward.
"We continue to work tirelessly in our quest to improve our performance and achieve the results we need on the pitch.
"Through this challenging time, we support our Head Coach David Gray and his management team. All departments are under pressure to deliver.
"We recognise that this is a hard time for our supporters, and we know we can do better. Together, with Black Knight Football, we are working hard to make that happen."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
