Hibs slaughtered for Premier Sports Cup 'shambles' as ex Celtic star Mark Wilson lets rip over Rocky Bushiri blunder

Pundit Mark Wilson has slammed Hibs for their Premier Sports Cup humiliation - branding the Easter Road club's situation "a shambles."

The Hibees drew 1-1 with Morton on Wednesday night and it had looked as if their hopes of winning the group and qualifying for the last 16 hinged on Clyde beating Falkirk this weekend. But it emerged on Thursday morning that they had fielded an ineligible player, and were hit with sanctions after an SPFL hearing.

The player in question was Rocky Burshiri, who was suspended after he had previously picked up two bookings. The governing body recorded the result as a 3-0 Morton win, meaning Hibs dropped onto six points and can now no longer qualify.
