Lee Johnson admits he understands Hibs fans' anger with his side on the brink of a shock Premier Sports Cup exit. Punters at Easter Road made their feelings known at full-time as Johnson's side drew with Morton before giving up a bonus in the ensuing penalty shoot-out.
It means the Premiership side are now relying on Clyde denying Falkirk to give them a chance of scraping through to the knockout stage. The Hibees toiled against a well-drilled and resilient Morton and missed three of their four spot-kicks, which disappointed Johnson even further.
And he admitted supporters had every right to vent their fury at full-time. Asked about the jeers from the stands, Johnson told BBC Sportsound: "Yeah, of course, it's fair enough. Listen, I'll never speak bad about, or go against, the fans. It's their job to be however they want to be. At times they saw our potential, there was some good moments as well for the fanbase.
