Hibs head coach David Gray says improved performances count for nothing if results do not improve, as his side prepare to face Dundee United on Saturday.

The Easter Road side lost back-to-back games before the international break, and sit 10th in the Scottish Premiership with just one league win this season.

Gray branded his side’s errors in the 2-1 defeat by Motherwell as “unprofessional” last time out, but he believes his players have learned from those mistakes.

“Take the Motherwell game for example, the basics in both boxes I think that was the key fundamental thing from the game,” Gray said.

“We’ve looked at and reflected on it and worked on the areas and ultimately don’t want to be a team that’s playing well in the losing games, we need to win.”

Gray insists he is unfazed by the demands that come with leading Hibs, having worn the shirt for so long as a player.

“This football club demands it and I’m well aware of that expectation,” he added.

“The performance level has been good but if you’re not winning games then it’s irrelevant so we need to make sure that we put them both together.

“Having been a player, that demand is always on you, I’ve talked a lot about the squad and how strong it is and the competition for places but the result is the most important thing.

“Everybody needs to be pulling in the same direction, working as hard as we can to make sure we put that right as quickly as we can.”
