Hibs manager David Gray has been speaking to the media before Tuesday’s Scottish Premiership game against Falkirk at Falkirk (kick-off 19:45 BST).

• Gray said there are “a few bumps and bruises” in the squad but nothing major and that there is nobody returning to the squad, so it will be as it was against Rangers.
• The Hibs boss emphasised it is “important to move on” after the League Cup defeat against Rangers and that “this is the benefit of a game coming so quickly – you’ve got the opportunity to try to rectify that defeat”.
• Gray said Falkirk “will be a different type of test, against a team that has won back-to-back promotions” than Rangers were and expects a “really difficult” game because the opposition “have been together for a while and been very successful”.
• The Hibs manager knows Bairns boss John McGlynn very well, having been coached by him as a youngster at Hearts – and said “he is a very good coach who knows exactly what’s going on”.
• Gray added that the adversity the squad faced at the start of last season will stand them in good stead as they try to bounce back from the defeat at Ibrox.
• He said the fact they are “really disappointed shows they actually did believe they could go to Ibrox and get into the next round of the cup”.
• Gray is not looking beyond Tuesday night but acknowledged a victory – which would put Hibs on nine points from five games – would make the table look very different.
• He said that his players will have to “contend with the astro turf” but they have experience of it at Livingston and that “it’s not an excuse – we’re ready for it”.
