Hibernian are in dismal form and the pressure is ramping up on beleaguered manager David Gray.
Gray, 36, has Hibs on an eight-game winless run, dating back to September 14, which led to a vote of confidence from the Easter Road board prior to the recent international break.
But it appears the humiliating 4-1 away loss at Dundee on Saturday has proved the final straw for many supporters.
Fan group, Block Seven, have graffitied ‘Sack the Board’ on the wall outside the stadium since the latest defeat as they demand changes amid their team sitting bottom of the Scottish Premiership.
A social media post accompanied by a video of the furious message read: “Enough is enough”.

Hibernian Women were in SWPL action against Partick Thistle on Sunday and there was also a banner displayed at Meadowbank Stadium targeting Malky Mackay, who serves as the club’s sporting director.
It said: “Mackay Out”.

Gray vowed to fight on as he spoke to the media following that bruising result at Dens Park.
“One hundred per cent I want to be here," he claimed.
“That’s a decision for the powers that be at the football club. I think until someone tells me otherwise, I’ll do everything I possibly can to turn this around.
“I know the players are still with me, 100 per cent. I know they’ve still got that desire to try and turn this around. And I would say that we know the areas in which we are.
“I thought the players started the game well, got ourselves in front. But unfortunately, we’ve been in this movie before where a moment of madness and a poor touch that led to a lunge tackle definitely changed the game.
“Trying to win a game in this league with 11 players on the pitch is hard enough. But to do it, being down to 10 men after such a long period of time makes it even more difficult.
“I have no complaints but it’s a massive moment in the game, a big momentum shift.
“The players are hurting in there at the moment because of the effort they’re putting in. But it’s just too many individual errors.
“You need to stick together. Confidence is something that you need to try. It doesn’t just come.”
Hibernian will look to make amends when they host Aberdeen on Tuesday night.
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!
