Hibs' Gray Optimistic Ahead of Derby

0:00It's April 23rd. This is Edinburgh News Today, local news powered by AI. Hibbs head coach David Gray dropped a fitness update on his squad ahead of Sunday's Edinburgh Derby against hearts at Easter Road. It's their first post split match, and they're looking to shake off their recent loss to Aberdeen. Gray sounded optimistic overall when he spoke to Hibbs TV. Josh Mulligan's back in the mix, training with the group at HTC this week, though just part sessions. He won't make the squad this weekend, but it's a boost at this crucial stage of the season. Grand Handley is out through suspension after picking up a red card against Aberdeen, so he'll miss a couple games. That hurts the center back options for sure. Munechet Gar Nanga's recovery is heading in a better direction than first feared. No season ender like they thought. He's not fit yet and off the grass, but progress is real. Rudy Malatnikov's done for the year, but with Mulligan returning and others stepping up, Gray says the squad's getting healthier as they push to the business end.
