Constant heading: magnetic versus gyro

There have been many comments on this site about MH370 flying on a constant heading during its last hours. All but one of these comments suggested it was a constant magnetic heading. Question: under what circumstances would a 777 fly on a constant gyro heading? Second question: would the rate of gyro drift (degrees per hour) remain constant?
