A statement on Monday evening read: "We are disappointed with the poor start to our current season like all Hibernian FC supporters.

"Following the weekend’s result, we have held discussions as a group addressing how we move forward.

"We continue to work tirelessly in our quest to improve our performance and achieve the results we need on the pitch.

"Through this challenging time, we support our Head Coach David Gray and his management team. All departments are under pressure to deliver.

"We recognise that this is a hard time for our supporters, and we know we can do better. Together, with Black Knight Football, we are working hard to make that happen."
