HIBS rejected the Compliance Officer’s offer of a two-match ban for Darnell Johnson following his challenge on Celtic’s Emilio Izaguirre.
And SunSport understands Hibees are raging that Jozo Simunovic, Scott Brown AND Oliver Burke escaped punishment for incidents during Wednesday’s Parkhead clash
Johnson, who joined on loan from Leicester last week, left Izaguirre in agony after a challenge during Celtic’s 2-0 win.
But he later took to social media to insist there was no intent in the tackle.
He tweeted: “I always try to challenge fairly.”
Hibs have now backed their defender, who is free to play in this afternoon’s Scottish Cup clash with Raith Rovers.
And at the same time they are privately aggrieved Simunovic’s challenge on Oli Shaw, a Brown tackle on Mark Milligan and an alleged dive by Burke were not deemed worthy of being cited.
