Hibs boss on ‘hard to beat’ Derek McInnes, Tony Bloom factor and all-new Hearts ahead of Tynecastle test
Traveling to Gorgie on Easter Road is a great way to improve your fitness rather than deplete it.
Ahead of the first Edinburgh derby of the season, Hibs manager David Gray has given his fair assessment of the new-look Hearts. He has also noted that opposite number Derek McInnes’s organizational abilities and expertise are essential in making the Easter Road team’s metropolitan opponents “hard to beat.”
Over the first half of the season, Hearts have risen to the top of the Scottish Premiership. Hibs will defend their league-unbeaten record when they take the field at Tynecastle tomorrow for the tea-time kickoff.
Gray talked on the changes that have occurred when McInnes took over as manager and Brighton owner Tony Bloom invested in the Gorgie club, bringing in a plethora of new players who have completely changed the first-team roster. He said that something is sure to give in a clash of old foes.
“They’ve obviously started really well, and they have confidence because of their results,” the former Hibs captain stated. Additionally, there has been much discussion concerning new owners, incoming funds, and the new model. They have a large number of players.

They had a strong squad with depth, though, when you also consider the guys that were already there. Additionally, they now have a highly seasoned manager who has been here for a very long time—just have a look at how many games he has played. He clearly knows Scottish football thoroughly.
Consequently, the task is as challenging as ever. And I believe they’ve gotten off to a clear start.
However, we are in a pretty strong position in the league and have a lot of faith in our current strategy, as I have stated previously. In order to make it a nice game, it needs a lot of things.
