Under Pressure Lee Johnson insists Hibs had no excuses as he slammed his sides defending in a derby drubbing that stretched their winless run against Hearts to nine games.
A damaging afternoon also left the Easter Road boss fearing Rocky Bushiri could have broken a leg after an injury time challenge from Cammy Devlin. With their hopes of silverware now over in January the spotlight is now firmly on Johnson - who admitted Ryan Porteous has potentially played his last game for the club with Blackburn, Udinese, Watford and Toulouse vying for his signature.
And there was no hiding the Leith boss’ disappointment when he claimed nobody wanted to hear him talking about positives as he tries to bridge the gap with the Jambos. Johnson said: “It’s been too long since we won a derby. We know that and the players know that. I told the players there’s no excuses.
