Shaun Maloney urges Hibs stars to learn from Scottish Cup 2016 hero David Gray in coach role

Shaun Maloney wants his Hibs players to learn from coach David Gray and be winners.

The former captain netted the winner in the 2016 Scottish Cup final.

And though he's not one to boast about his exploits, Maloney wants him to act as inspiration to the Leith club's stars.

“That footage from 2016 is something that motivates me and should be motivation for everybody at the club," the former Celtic midfielder said.

"The scenes are just amazing.

“I have David Gray on my staff and he doesn’t speak about it much, even though I ask a lot.

“It’s not just David, there are players here who played in that game. They are winners.

“I try to get lots of ex-players to the training ground as much as I can and part of that is because they achieved great things at the club and all our players should get motivation because these guys were sitting in their seat and achieved something special.

“They will forever be in the history of the club and the more of these people in at the club, the better.”
