Gray is eyeing a “marquee signing” and a new forward to enhance Hibs’ already strong squad. He envisions a career trajectory for homegrown hero Josh Campbell that could rival the club’s greatest servants or lead to a move to larger European leagues. Gray sets high expectations for Campbell, emphasizing his versatility and potential impact as a unique No. 10. He believes Campbell’s fitness and ability to contribute both offensively and defensively are crucial strengths.

Gray plans to deploy Campbell in various midfield roles within a flexible game model, likely centered around a 4-2-3-1 formation but adaptable as needed. He challenges Campbell to consistently contribute in goal-scoring situations and defensive efforts, highlighting his capacity and drive to excel. While Campbell brings energy to both attack and defense, Gray acknowledges the urgent need for a striker capable of leading the line, with current options limited.

Despite the challenges, Gray remains optimistic about strengthening the squad, possibly through strategic loans or other avenues. He emphasizes building a solid core team for Hibs, focusing on immediate improvements while planning for long-term success with additional enhancements.
