Only Polish side Legia Warsaw stand in their way of a place in the Conference League proper - and a £5million jackpot.

The Hibees are in the playoffs after completing a stunning 4-3 aggregate win over Serbian cracks Partizan, which included a 2-0 win in Belgrade.

Hibs host the Poles tomorrow night in the first leg and Gray, whose team beat Livingston 2-0 in Sunday's Premier Sports Cup tie, is eyeing more Euro glory.

He said: "This group have given themselves the opportunity to create history and that's something we have spoken a lot about.

"They are performing at a very high level and standard but Thursday night now needs to be the biggest performance of the season.
