Hibernian 1-2 FC Midtjylland (agg 2-3): What Gray said
Hibernian head coach David Gray: "One thing I'll never do is accept losing games of football but I can't ask the players for any more than what they've given me tonight. "It's taken three wonder strikes across the 210 minutes to beat us. The players gave us everything, the atmosphere, everything around it, was fantastic. "It's really tough to take, it's one thing we can't feel sorry for ourselves. Recovery is huge and we've got a good one to look forward to at the weekend, first league game of the season. That's what it's all about, that's how we ended up in this position, our attention has to quickly change towards Dundee. "It makes it harder to take, the manner of it, the timing of the goal, how much the players have put into it. I'm proud of the players in terms of the effort, the performance levels, the bravery, against a really good side. "We just need to find another way now. We've got a tough tie in the Conference League but it's still an opportunity for us and we need to remember that."It was fine margins again tonight."I think our attention very quickly changes to Dundee so I'm not going to look past that now. Tonight's game is going to be irrelevant towards the weekend. Full focus on that one which is a different way of playing. When Partizan comes round it's going to be a real tough test but it's the reward for playing in Europe."

Dor Turgeman transfer chase heats up as Rangers face serious competition from MLS and Europe
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DOR TURGEMAN has been a name consistently linked with a move to Rangers this summer. But the Israel international certainly isn't short of interested parties. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 Dor Turgeman in action for Israel Credit: AFP 2 He was prolific last season for Maccabi Tel Aviv Credit: Getty The 21-year old has been on Rangers' radar after a superb 2024/25 campaign. He netted 15 goals in 32 games to fire Maccabi Tel Aviv to title glory. The Light Blues have been watching Turgeman, capped eight times for his country, for some time but no deal has happened. Less than two weeks ago, Maccabi Tel Aviv boss Zarko Lazetic claimed it would take a FAIRYTALE offer for the club to consider selling Turgeman. The conflict between Israel and Iran has complicated matters further with Maccabi Tel Aviv extra keen to hold on to their top Israeli stars due to the decreasing likelihood of being able to attract foreign players. But Rangers are far from the only interested party. MLS Insider Tom Bogert is reporting that New England Revolution are interested in signing Turgeman. Fellow MLS outfit Portland Timbers are also credited with an interest. Turgeman would be an attractive signing for MLS clubs as they could bring him in on an U22 Initiative deal due to his age. That sort of contract allows MLS sides to sign up to three players aged 22 or under to lucrative deals - but at a reduced budget charge. Major Mikey Moore Rangers loan doubts & 'strange situation' at Celtic + transfer news Go Ballistic The report also notes that there is 'a lot of competition' from European clubs for Turgeman. Rangers' interest in signing a striker could depend a lot on the futures of Hamza Igamane and Cyriel Dessers. Morocco international Igamane has been the subject of plenty of interest but despite reports of him being close to a move to Lille, the French club have yet to firm up their interest. Dessers had looked likely to join AEK Athens earlier in the summer but it has all gone quiet on that front. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
