Fontaine keeps precious snap on phone

THIS IMAGE SHOWS ALL THAT DAVID STANDS FOR

LIAM FONTAINE still has a picture of David Gray's goal from Hibs' last European trip to Denmark saved on his phone.

He reckons it sums up everything his old Easter Road teammate stood for while wearing the captain's armband. Belief, desire and bravery.

Gray's strike in a 1-0 win against Brondby in July 2016 came just two months after his famous Scottish Cup Final winner against Rangers that teed up Neil Lennon’ side for that Europa League qualifier.

It ultimately ended in a heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat against the Christian Norgaard and Teemu Pukki-inspired Danes.

But, nine years on, Gray is preparing to take Hibs back to the land of fairytales for a qualifier against Midtjylland in the same competition.

And, despite being underdogs again, Fontaine reckons Hibs can look forward to a happy ever after with his old defensive colleague at the helm.

He said: “They've got to believe they can win. And with Dave that's something you always get - belief.

“One of my favourite pictures is actually from that game against Brondby, celebrating the goal with Dave. I still keep it in my phone.
