Gray frustrated as hot and cold Hibs blow two-goal lead

DAVID GRAY lamented Hibernian’s drop-off in performance after they let a two-goal lead slip in “a hugely frustrating” 2-2 Premiership draw with Kilmarnock yesterday.

The Hibees looked to be in command after Rocky Bushiri and Elie Youan - on his first start since December - put them two up within the opening half-hour at Easter Road.

But Killie hit back just before the break through Liam Polworth and then 18-year-old Ben Brannan volleyed home a spectacular equaliser in the 48th minute.

“It was hugely frustrating, but certainly a game of two halves in terms of our level of performance as well,” said boss Gray, inset.

“We started the game really well and for 44 of the 45 minutes in the first half I thought we were very good and dominated the game.

“But we lost a really poor goal and it just gave a little bit of momentum to Kilmarnock going in at halftime and then it's a wonder goal to get it back to 2-2.
