Hibernian FC's men's and women's team managers, David Gray and Joelle Murray, have spoken about the importance of football in Scottish culture. The Scotland Men's National Team's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the dramatic SPL title race have made it a great time to be part of Scottish football. David Gray, the head coach of the men's team, has been in the Easter Road hot seat since 2024, having previously been the club's caretaker manager three times. He played 177 games for Hibs and won the Scottish Championship in 2016-17. Gray spoke about the passion of the fan base and how it drives the team on. Joelle Murray, the head coach of the women's team, is a one-club legend, playing over 500 games for Hibs. She was awarded a one-club woman award from Athletic Bilbao and earned 48 Scotland caps. Murray echoed Gray's sentiments, saying that football is ingrained in Scottish culture and the passion is second to none.
