LEE JOHNSON’S first two months in the Hibernian hot-seat haven’t exactly made for smooth sailing. The new era at Easter Road started promisingly enough on the park with a 5-0 demolition of Clyde in the Edinburgh club’s opening fixture in the group stages of the Premier Sports Cup but things have degenerated since – both on and off the pitch.
Hibs followed up that win over the Bully Wee with a shock defeat away to third-tier Falkirk, leaving their hopes of progression to the knockout phases of the tournament dangling by a thread. A 4-1 victory away to Bonnyrigg Rose hinted that things might be back on track before the whole exercise flew off the rails in ludicrous fashion.
