Hibernian captain David Gray says he was shocked to hear that Neil Lennon had been suspended by the club, and says the head coach's relationship with the players is still strong.
Lennon was suspended on Friday, pending a club investigation, following a heated team meeting, Sky Sports News understands.
Head of academy Eddie May and assistant coach Grant Murray took charge of Sunday's game against St Mirren - which Hibs won 3-1 - and Lennon is expected to leave the club.
But following the win over the Buddies, Gray said of Lennon's suspension: "I think you are always shocked in that situation. I don't think there is any other way to put it.
"Obviously the results haven't been fantastic recently but in terms of the relationship between players and the manager it has always been the same.
"Everyone knows there was a meeting but it wasn't out of the ordinary."
