""I'm delighted for the players, it was a huge win after everything that went into the derby," Gray told BBC Scotland. "We spoke before the game about a fast start and building on the momentum - I thought [first half] it was a bit flat to be honest. Understandably so. Having to try and go again and the emotional side of it.""
""Second half I thought we were very good and deserved to win the game. A clean sheet is always important. "Now when you look at back-to-back wins. You need to win your home games but it's difficult to do that against two really good sides." It was the first time Hibs have won consecutive league games since early November and only the third time overall this season. Clearly consistency has to improve if they want to move up from fifth place."
Hibernian produced a strong second-half performance to beat Aberdeen, securing consecutive league wins and keeping a clean sheet. The victory followed an emotionally draining derby and came despite several key players being absent. The result moved Hibs four points behind third-place Rangers, with a game in hand, and preserved hopes of finishing in the top three for a second consecutive season. Hibs rank highly in attacking metrics, including shots on target and expected goals, and Kieron Bowie leads with seven league goals. Consistency remains a concern after many draws and limited consecutive wins.
