Hibs will 'strongly support' any investigation into an alleged racial comment directed towards Jair Tavares at Tannadice last night.
Lee Johnson's summer signing was introduced in the second half of the narrow defeat to Dundee United. The Portuguese winger went to retrieve a ball that had gone out of play when the alleged racial comment was made. A clip was shared on social media by former Hibs midfielder Marvin Bartley - who slammed the 'scumbag' involved and has called on the SFA and SPFL to take action.
Hibs have confirmed they have been in contact with their fellow Premiership club over the incident and have encouraged anyone with information to come forward. A club statement read: "Hibernian FC are aware of an incident in our cinch Premiership match with Dundee United, involving a racist comment directed towards one of our players.
