'Hibs out to start Gray era positively'published at 14:58 British Summer Time 13 July 2024
Elgin City v Hibernian (15:00)
Tyrone Smith
BBC Sport Scotland at Borough BriggsA big Hibernian support have travelled from the capital to Moray for what they hope will be the start of a successful era for their team.
After a really disappointing campaign last season, Hibs will be determined to get this one off to a good start and set things in motion in really positive fashion.
As for Elgin City, no-one is expecting them to win, so they are under no pressure at all, which means anything could happen.
