Kieron Bowie and Josh Mulligan Hibs futures addressed as David Gray quizzed on transfer speculation.

He has encouraged them to push for the Scotland World Cup squad. David Grey is sure that Hibs talents Kieron Bowie and Josh Mulligan will not get carried away with January rumours.

Wolves, a struggling English Premier League team, scouted the Scotland striker after he scored in the Edinburgh derby.

Mulligan has also been connected with Premier League rivals Leeds United and Nottingham Forest, as well as Celtic.

Grey stated, “I believe all the two can do is continue doing what they are doing. So, I believe they should continue to work hard, as this is the most important benefit.

“I say it all the time about them two is they’re getting all the plaudits at the moment because of their level of performance, but they’re really hard-working, humble boys that are enjoying their football.”That is the most crucial thing. Their carrot will still be there for them.

They will continue to try to force their way into Scotland’s squad. “All they can do is maintain improving their individual performance and contributing to the team as much as possible.

I believe that if they can accomplish that, we will undoubtedly have other players.Speculation will always be present.

“There’s nothing you can do about that, but you need to keep your feet on the ground and keep working hard.” Bowie missed the win over Aberdeen due to illness, but he is expected to be fine for the Kilmarnock game.

Hibs are unlikely to have Martin Boyle, who limped out of the game with a hamstring injury. Grey believes Hibs are in a solid position heading into 2026 and has promised that they will only get stronger.

The Easter Road club is now fifth, but wins over Hearts and Aberdeen have helped them tighten the gap on the top two teams. Grey believes his team hasn’t been too far off, but outcomes haven’t always matched their efforts.

He takes his club to Kilmarnock hoping to start the new year in style and make another European appearance. “We just have to keep moving forward,” Grey insisted.

Grey stated, “Obviously.” As January approaches, people will naturally begin to consider boosting their teams. We are no different.

“If there is something that we believe can be done to improve the group, we have always had support from above.

I’m confident we’ll be there as long as we believe we can improve the group. “You just need to keep going forward, try to have more consistent outcomes, and attempt to catch that squad ahead of us.

That’s our challenge from now until the end of the season.” “I believe consistent results are more important than anything else. I believe the performance level was consistent throughout the piece and in all of the games we played.

“There have been very few occasions when I’ve had to come in and declare that the level of performance has fallen far short of our expectations. There have only been a few occasions, if any. It’s about consistency in results.

I believe that winning back-to-back today puts you in a strong position. We’re obviously in a better situation as a football club this year than we were last year around this time. “There is something to build on.

I still say it frequently. I believe there is much more to come for this squad in terms of outcomes and continued improvement for many of the players. So that’s a very powerful position to be in.”

The transfer window is now open, and the goal is to emerge out stronger than when they entered.

He is well aware that they will be financially supported if the appropriate players emerge. Hibs broke their record buy in the summer by signing Thibault Klidje from Luzern.

He took some time to find his feet, but he scored in the win over Aberdeen. The Hibs boss admitted: “He has had to wait. He’s had to continue working hard.
