For Hibernian fans, the gloriously chaotic 3-3 draw with Aberdeen in late November was the moment their faith in the team they love was restored.

Pressure had been mounting on Gray after a series of costly late concessions, but then the most unlikely of heroes emerged.
Rocky Bushiri had never really won over the Hibs support. He made mistakes and opponents targeted him.
In his previous 78 games, he had never scored. But he did that night and it was the moment that changed a season.
