Charlie Nicholas brands Hibs a 'pantomime' as Celtic hero points finger at club amid Lee Johnson no chance claim

Brutal Charlie Nicholas has blasted Hibs as becoming a ‘pantomime’ club after recent results have seen a shocking run of form building.

The Hibees have slumped to eighth in the Scottish Premiership table with a damning stat that Lee Johnson’s men have suffered eight defeats in the previous ten games, with a statement 4-0 win over Livingston last weekend cancelled out by derby defeat to Hearts.

It was convincing for Robbie Neilson’s men at Tynecastle when Lawrence Shankland hit a double and Stephen Humphrys added insult to injury on Monday. But pressure now seems to be mounting on the Easter Road hierarchy to turn the tide with Johnson upset over squad resources and recent dire performances. And former Celtic hero Nicholas has laid in to the supremos in Leith for running the club like a ‘pantomime’ and says nothing has changed in his book since the misfire of Shaun Maloney as manager.
