Mowbray is new Hibs boss

Hibernian today named Tony Mowbray as the new first-team manager.

The former Celtic and Middlesbrough defender succeeds Bobby Williamson in the Easter Road hotseat.

But the appointment came as a shock to many with Eric Black and Alan Kernaghan believed to be front-runners.

The Hibernian board believes the arrival of Mowbray, formerly the first-team coach at Ipswich, will see a return to their philosophy of entertaining and winning football.
