Callum Davidson considers St Johnstone Murray Davidson appeal as he makes Marijan Cabraja tackle comparison

Frustrated Callum Davidson called for consistency and reckons referee Euan Anderson’s controversial calls cost St Johnstone an opening day point.

The Saints boss was unhappy his side fell to a stoppage time winner to Hibs at McDiarmid Park. St Johnstone were left up against it when Murray Davidson was sent off. His manager was then left bemused when Hibs defender Marijan Cabraja was only shown a yellow for a similar challenge. He said:: "I'm just looking for consistency in decisions. That's the biggest thing for me. There are two massive talking points in the game.

“You come to the Murray Davidson sending off ... whether it was or not is debatable, you come to that second tackle, to me it's the exact same tackle, there is no difference at all, and he gives him a yellow. We conceded the goal in the 90th minute due to those decisions. It's really hard to take.
