Lee Johnson has defended Hibs' wild celebrations after Martin Boyle 's dramatic derby equaliser - saying he refuses to apologise for letting loose after a huge goal for his team.
After coming off the bench for his second Hibs debut, Boyle struck at the death to draw his side level against Hearts and there were wild celebrations all around Easter Road. Jambos defender Toby Sibbick was critical, claiming Hibs had celebrated like they'd "won a cup" but a defiant Johnson insists it was only natural.
He also responded to Robbie Neilson's barb about Hibs lofty expectations for the season, with the Hearts boss also claiming his team "dominated" at Easter Road. Johnson said: "I certainly won't apologise for the perception of over-celebrating because it was a good goal for us. The timing and the crescendo that was built up, I don't think anybody should worry about us and how we celebrate. It wasn't offensive to anybody. It was just us elated at a really good moment at an important time in the game."
