Read more:
Hibs resultantly dropped into the third round of Conference League qualifying, where they will take on Partizan.
They travel to Serbia for the first leg on Thursday, before welcoming the Belgrade outfit to Easter Road a week later.
Should Hibs get the better of Partizan, they will move into the Conference League play-offs, where they have today been drawn to face either AEK Larnaca or Legia Warszawa.
The prospective first leg will be played at Easter Road on Thursday, August 21, before Hibs travel to either Cyprus or Poland for the return leg a week later.
All eyes for now, however, are on the Partizan tie, after Gray's men made a winning start to their Scottish Premiership campaign over the weekend, Kieron Bowie's quick-fire brace securing a 2-1 win away to Dundee.

Inside Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham sacking as Daniel Levy reveals awkward chat after Europa League heroics
The ex-Celtic favourite was brutally binned by Spurs just weeks after ending the club's 17-year trophy drought Daniel Levy had doubled down on Tottenham 's decision to sack Europa League-winning boss Ange Postecoglou. The Spurs supremo decided to pull the trigger just weeks after Postecoglou led the North London club to European glory. Ex- Celtic favourite Postecoglou boldly vowed to end Tottenham's 17-year wait for a trophy and was true to his word after beating Manchester United in May's final. But a catastrophic Premier League campaign ended with the Lilywhites finishing fourth bottom on just 38 points - and the Aussie paid the price with his job after two rollercoaster seasons at the helm. Levy took some heat from supporters and pundits for wielding the axe and the chairman had to justify his decision in an awkward conversation with Postecoglou. He told the Overlap with SkyBet: "Ultimately, the decision sits with me, but it's always a collective decision. "We have a board of directors, but under the board, we have a group of technical staff, and they advise. "We had to explain the decision to part ways with Ange. Ange just won us a trophy – a European trophy – highly significant and he's always going to be in our history. 'However, we couldn't lose sight of the fact that we finished 17th in the league, we lost 22 Premier League games, and it's impossible for Tottenham to be in that position, and so we had to take the emotion out of it and we had to give some data points as to why we decided to do what we did. "Whichever level you do it, no one likes telling somebody, 'You're losing your job', but it is the nature of football. "We're there to win and yes, we won a European trophy – and it was fantastic – but we also need to win on all fronts – and the Premier League says it all." Tottenham moved on quickly from Postecoglou by luring Thomas Frank from Brentford as their new head coach. Levy added: "Whenever you appoint a coach, you always believe it's right and you need a lot of ingredients for it to be right. Thomas Frank is a highly intelligent individual; he's got a fantastic way about him in terms of communication. "He will be great at developing both young players and older players – and making them better. "He gets the style of football we want to play; he understands that Rome wasn't built in a day – we haven't set him: 'You've got to win the league this year'. We just want to compete at the highest level."

Former Arsenal star Thomas Partey arrives at court charged with five counts of rape against two women
FORMER Arsenal star Thomas Partey has arrived at court today charged with five counts of rape against two women. The Ghanaian international, 32, is also accused of sexually assaulting a third woman. 3 Thomas Partey has arrived at court charged with rape Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 The footballer left Arsenal on June 30 Credit: Getty Partey was pictured arriving at Westminster Magistrates' Court for a first appearance. He is accused of three counts of rape against one of the alleged victims and two against a second. Partey is also charged with one count of sexual assault against the third complainant. The star allegedly carried out the offences between 2021 and 2022. Partey's contract with Arsenal ended on June 30 and was not renewed - making him a free agent. He has since been linked to Villarreal and is understood to have undergone a medical at the La Liga side. Partey, who has also had offers from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, is expected to sign a two-year deal. His defence Lawyer Jenny Wiltshire said previously: 'Thomas Partey denies all the charges against him. "He has fully cooperated with the police and CPS throughout their three-year investigation. He now welcomes the opportunity to finally clear his name. "Given that there are now ongoing legal proceedings, my client is unable to comment further' A probe into the defensive midfielder was launched in February 2022 after officers first received a report of rape. The Crown Prosecution Service said the charge came after it "carefully reviewed a comprehensive file of evidence". Partey was at the Emirates for five years after signing in 2020 from Atletico Madrid, where he won the Europa League. He has represented his country at three Africa Cup of Nations and the 2022 World Cup.

Levy speaks out on Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham sacking
The Tottenham owner and chairman took the difficult call to get rid of the former Celtic manager despite the fact he had just won them the Europa League, delivering on his promise he always wins a trophy in his second season. However, the Premier League giants had also finished 17th in the league, just one place above the relegation zone, which is well below their lofty ambitions. Levy decided he had to part ways with the Aussie, who only lasted two years in North London after heading there from Glasgow. The businessman has now spoken on the sacking and explained his thinking. Read more: 'Ultimately, the decision sits with me, but it's always a collective decision,' he told the Overlap.
