The players are to blame for Jack Ross' departure, says Lewis Stevenson.
Lewis Stevenson says that Jack Ross should have been with the team when they played Celtic in the League Cup final.
Ross was dismissed despite being 10 days away from the showpiece.
Stevenson feels the squad let Ross down after seven Scottish Premiership defeats.
Stevenson said they would have loved him to be there.
Ross was sacked as head coach.
What went wrong when Ross left Hibs?
He's put in a lot of work to get us to the final. His cup record was really good, but for him and his assistant, it's not nice.
They should have been with us when we went to Hampden. I thought he did everything right as a manager.
Stevenson praised Ross for thanking the players after he lost his job.
The defender said that was the hardest part. He is thanking us, but it's our fault that he lost his job. We feel like we let him down.
It's a difficult time. Sometimes it's when you are angry. The worst feeling to get over is the sense that you let people down.
We haven't been able to get results on the field. He gave us everything. He was with us when things weren't going well.
