Hibs lost out to Hearts in the Scottish Cup semi final at the weekend.

Hibernian have sacked manager Shaun Maloney after back-to-back losses in the Edinburgh derby with Hearts.

The 39-year-old was only appointed in December and Hibs missed out on a top six Scottish Premiership finish when the league split.

First team coach David Gray will take charge for the rest of the season.

Gary Caldwell, Valerio Zuddas and Brian Doogan have also left with immediate effect.

Executive Chairman Ronald J Gordon commented: “Our hope in appointing Shaun Maloney as a young, highly regarded coach was that he would help us take the club forward, but ultimately it didn't work out.

“We thank Shaun and his coaching staff for all their hard work and efforts and wish them all the best for the future.”
