We said: Elgin City 0-3 Hibernian

Although new boss Gray is yet to take charge of a competitive game for Hibs, his status as a former player could provide the club with a much-needed boost. Additionally, it is difficult to envisage Elgin achieving victory considering their status as a club in Scotland's fourth division, and this makes the visitors strong favourites heading into Saturday's clash.
