Gray famously netted the winning goal as Hibs ended 114 years of hurt to lift football’s oldest trophy when they defeated Rangers 3-2 at Hampden Park in 2016.

Gray was a popular player with Hibs for seven seasons before moving on to the coaching staff. He had two stints as interim manager in the 2021/22 after Jack Ross and Shaun Maloney were dismissed, respectively.

The opponent is still to be named for the testimonial game, which will take place at Easter Road on Sunday, October 15. The special dinner will be held the month prior on Saturday, September 9.
