Gray confident in squad's depth for domestic and continental tests

Despite their late heartbreak against Midtjylland, Hibs still have European commitments to contend Danish opponents, Midtjylland, scored a 119th-minute winner at Easter Road on Thursday night to send David Gray's side into a Conference League showdown with Partizan coach Gray is remaining calm about their squad depth, though, as they prepare to kick off their Premiership campaign against Dundee on Sunday."It's vital that you've got a strong squad," he said. " We demonstrated that a lot last season."The togetherness within it, especially when you're looking at the two ties we've just played there. We started the same side in both games. You've naturally got players that are disappointed they're not playing."A lot of players who were all massive contributors last season, the ones that were here last season, will all be disappointed if they weren't playing in this game. How do you deal with that? They deal with it by coming on and trying to affect the game in a positive way."We were so good at that last season. That collectiveness and the togetherness came from subs impacting games. I say it every week, the team that starts will never finish."Everybody needs to be ready to play. Everybody is good enough to play, which is why they're in the squad. That's why we've developed such a squad that is capable of fighting on two fronts, hopefully."

Stuart Kettlewell says opening-day clash hinged on ‘soft' red card

Kilmarnock boss Stuart Kettlewell lamented the pivotal impact of what he felt was a 'really soft' red card for George Stanger as his side let a two-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 at home to Livingston in a dramatic Premiership opener. Killie looked on course for victory after strikes from Djenairo Daniels and David Watson in the closing stages of the first half. But a 64th-minute flashpoint brought Livi right back into the match as defender Stanger, who joined from local rivals Ayr this summer, was sent off for denying a goal-scoring opportunity by tugging the shirt of Robbie Muirhead as he tried to get a shot away in the box. Former Kilmarnock forward Muirhead scored the resulting penalty before the visitors capitalised on their extra-man advantage as Scott Pittman equalised in the 86th minute. While Kettlewell acknowledged his players could have done better in the lead-up to the incident that swung the game in the Lions' favour, the manager said: 'I do have complaints about the red card. 'From my angle, from the technical area, I actually felt that Muirhead had the initial pull on George. If we deem both pulls the same, then is the foul earlier in the incident? 'I do want my centre-back to deal with the ball, I don't think it's going at enough pace to guarantee that it's going back to the goalkeeper. 'But even at that, is George's contact enough for Muirhead to go down in the fashion that he does? Is it a red card? We'll all debate it, some will think it is. I probably sit in the camp of it being soft, I feel it's really, really soft. 'But once you put yourself into that position, it becomes a difficult one to argue. 'The game hinges on that one moment, in my opinion.' Livingston boss David Martindale praised his side's second-half fightback. 'I probably would have taken a point before the game,' he said. 'In the first half, they took their moments better than we took our moments, they sat in the mid-to-low block and then hit us on the counter a couple of times, which was poor from us. 'But I was pretty happy with how the boys bounced back, they showed real resilience. 'Overall I'm fairly happy with the performance, but in a couple of key moments we shot ourselves in the foot.'

Chaos in League Two as club asks if any FANS can officiate after linesman gets injured on opening weekend

The opening weekend of the new EFL League Two season did not run entirely smoothly, as an injured assistant referee sparked a mad scramble for a replacement during Bromley's goalless draw at Shrewsbury Town. A surreal scene unfolded midway through the first half at the Croud Meadow, where play was halted in the 26th minute after linesman Scott Chaulkley was unable to continue. With no spare officials available, the fourth official stepped in to run the line – leaving nobody to oversee substitutions or manage the technical areas. That prompted a remarkable moment, as the public address system issued an urgent call for help: was there a qualified referee in the crowd? As players returned to the changing rooms and confusion reigned, Bromley's social media team offered a blow-by-blow account of the chaos, posting: 'The PA announcer is now asking for a qualified referee. Football is back, ladies and gentlemen.' A follow-up update read: 'Right, there is nothing to report. We are still waiting for a qualified official. In the meantime, how's everyone doing this afternoon? Good?' After a 17-minute delay, the solution finally arrived – in the form of Alan Cork, a Shrewsbury fan and Level 5-qualified referee, who stepped out of the stands to take over as fourth official. Due to the delay caused by an injured linesman, there were 17 minutes of first-half added time Shrewsbury celebrated Cork's intervention with a picture and message on X (formerly Twitter): 'Shout-out to our new fourth official for the afternoon! Thanks for saving the day, Alan.' Once play resumed, 17 additional minutes were added on to the end of the first half – but neither side could find a breakthrough. John Marquis and George Nurse both went close for the hosts, while Marcus Dinanga saw two first-half efforts for Bromley either ruled out or sent wide. Shrewsbury boss Michael Appleton handed out multiple debuts, including a start for forward Anthony Scully. Attendance at the Croud Meadow was 5,809, including 280 away fans. This wasn't the only League Two fixture to suffer disruption on the opening day. Newport County's 1-1 draw with Notts County was delayed by an hour after a medical emergency in the stands. Two air ambulances landed on the pitch at Rodney Parade before the game eventually kicked off at 4pm. Once it got going, the visitors started brightly but fell behind early in the second half when Gerard Garner nodded in from close range following a long throw. Jodi Jones drew Notts level from the penalty spot just after the hour mark, after Matt Baker was penalised for dragging down Matthew Dennis in the box. Both sides had chances to win it — Michael Reindorf struck the post for Newport — but had to settle for a point apiece.
