ANOTHER week, another Scottish football maelstrom. Not for the first time, it was Hibernian’s Ryan Porteous caught in the whirlpool of a post-match debrief, accused of being a “blatant cheat” in the wake of his team’s win over Aberdeen on Saturday.
That rather damning moniker had come from Dons manager Jim Goodwin, who felt the Scotland internationalist had duped the referee in the moments leading up to Hibs’ first-half penalty. Undoubtedly, Porteous and Liam Scales - the victim, in the Aberdeen version of events - had both been ‘at it’, tangling with one another in the box.
