Lee Johnson handing big Hibs responsibility to David Gray as club legend opens up on latest manager

David Gray says Lee Johnson has been a great help for him as the club legend adjusts to coaching under another new manager.

The 2016 Scottish Cup winning hero has been a familiar face amid 12 months of change at Easter Road.
