Gray on changing Hibs' fortune, Youan's behaviour & getting results

David Gray has been speaking to the media as his side prepare to face Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership on Tuesday night.

Here are the main points:

• He says he's convinced he is the man to turn things around and stresses the "players are 100% still running for me, still trying to do the best they can do, still caring about what they’re doing, still trying to be the best they can be".

• Gray says having the game against Aberdeen so soon after their "frustrating" 4-1 defeat to Dundee is a "benefit".

• Thinks the "players are low on confidence" but stresses his side "need to still remain as positive as we can" and says he's "desperate" for a change in fortunes.

• The manager insists he's "not delusional" and acknowledges the bleak position of his team in the Premiership table and the questions around his position.

• Gray defends Elie Youan, who has been criticised for doing keepies-uppies following Jordan Obita's red card against Dundee. "Everyone who knows Elie knows he’s happiest when he’s on the pitch. I think if you actually know him, I don't think there's any malice in what he was doing."

• He is expecting better from his team moving forward and says "there's been a lot of players making individual errors" which he is hoping to correct.

• He doesn’t expect an easy game after Aberdeen's defeat by St Mirren and says "there's no time for Aberdeen to stew on their defeat".
