Lee Johnson doesn't think a red card for Kyle Magennis defined why his Hibs side lost 2-1 to St Johnstone on Friday night.
The Hibees were comfortable in front of their biggest home crowd in over 30 years for over an hour, and were ahead through Mykola Kukharevych. But the midfielder picked up a second booking and it was the catalyst for the Nicky Clark and Stevie May goals which sealed a Saints win at Easter Road.
Johnson told Hibs TV: “I’m disappointed. We wanted to put a show on for the 19,500 Hibs fans, which to be honest, I thought we did for 60 minutes because of our energy, our spirit, playing on the front foot and pressing high. The game naturally got stressed but we had the key moments within it. If there’s a criticism within that, we didn’t execute the final ball anywhere near enough.
