Hibs and Dundee United have come to the conclusion that a derogatory comment was used during their Premiership meeting rather than a racist one.
Claims were made that Easter Road winger Jair Tavares had been racially abused as Hibs lost 1-0 to the Tangerines on Tuesday, following a clip that was released on social media. Both clubs and the SPFL launched investigations into the matter but have now said that it was most likely not a racist comment and that it came from the away end at Tannadice.
A statement reads: "The investigation, completed in conjunction with our counterparts at Dundee United and the host broadcasters alongside intensive discussions with other stakeholders, focused mainly on the context of the incident and utilised every available video angle and accompanying audio in an attempt to conclusively prove both where the shout emitted from, and also what phrase was shouted.
