The pundits have been out in force discussing who will take over from David Gray and become the next Hibs manager.
Predictions and suggestions are being cast after the club icon was sacked following a midweek loss to Kilmarnock in the Premiership. John Potter is the interim head coach and guided Hibs to a 1-1 draw against Aberdeen on Saturday.
Steve Clarke has been touted after leaving his Scotland head coach post while a controversial move for a former Hearts boss has been given a thumbs up in some quarters. Others have asserted whether or not the Leith-based side could go foreign, return to a familiar face, and what the style of play under a new gaffer may look like. Here are the opinions of 13 pundits when it comes to the next Hibs manager.

"What about Marvin Bartley? Stenhousemuir are flying at the minute. Is it too early? He had a wee stint at Queen of the South. There's something about him." | SNS Group
6. Cillian Sheridan (BBC)
"Clubs tend to copy whatever is popular. I know everyone is looking at Motherwell but they have a structure in place and the head coach isn’t the main focus of the club. I’m not sure Hibs have that structure in place. Do they want someone to come in and who is known for winning? Or want someone to develop players and style of play?" | SNS Group
7. Allan Preston (Sportsound)
"I would just like to ask, and I keep hearing it. What is the Hibs way football? Because I keep hearing it. Tony Mowbray played really good football. Neil Lennon played really attacking football, but since then, you're like, what is the Hibs way? I keep hearing it from my mates. Oh, we don't play the Hibs way. I feel David Gray was harshly treated. I just didn't get it at all." | SNS Group
8. Gordon Dalziel (Open Goal)
"He (Simo Valakari) doesn't excite me for Hibs, I'm sorry. I don't see him fitting the profile." | SNS Group
