Harry McKirdy has been carpeted by Hibs bosses over his Gareth Bale-style social media post with the striker’s Easter Road future again up in the air.
Boss Lee Johnson says the 26-year-old has been spoken to with talks ongoing over his discipline. Misfiring McKirdy, who has yet to score in 19 appearances since signing from Swindon last summer, vented on Instagram last Saturday night after failing to get off the bench against St Mirren.
Next to a picture of a park bench the Chelsea fan wrote: “Chels. Nina. Golf. Hibs” in reference to his football team, partner, hobby and club - similar to Bale’s “Wales. Golf. Madrid” post as he fell out of the reckoning at Real Madrid four years ago. It’s the second time McKirdy has found himself at the centre of a social media storm after he responded to a Swindon fan telling him it was time to go back south with a “not wrong” reply last October.
