Lee Johnson blasted the rule that saw him serve a one match ban for an offence he never committed as his side slumped to a 3-1 defeat to Motherwell.
The Hibs boss had to watch on from the stands and was unable to address his side in the dressing room after a booking at Celtic Park last week took him over the threshold. Johnson was cautioned after a member of his staff threw a ball on at Parkhead to break up play and with nobody holding their hand up the manager has to take responsibility.
But the Easter Road chief - who also pleaded innocence over the “easy” comments that angered Ange Postecoglou this week - said: “I couldn’t get into the dressing room. I don’t like it, it’s a stupid rule. If I’ve done something book me. If my staff do something book them. You can’t murder somebody then someone else gets done for murder. It doesn’t make sense.
