Lee Johnson insists he’s a fan of the Premiership split - but not the effect it’s having on the surge of managerial separations. The Hibs boss will have two eyes on the park at St Johnstone and an ear on events at Tannadice tomorrow as the his side go into the decisive afternoon for the top six.
Hibs sit just above the cut, a point better off than seventh-placed Livingston who head to face Dundee United, and know only a victory in Perth will guarantee their target to finish in the Euro spots remains on course. For the second week running they’ll face a side without a permanent manager after Saints swung the axe on Callum Davidson following their own failure to get near the top half of the table.
Johnson is now the sixth longest serving boss in the Premiership despite only being appointed 11 months ago. And he said: "I quite like the split, it's good. I’m not sure it's great for managers, by the way, because it's up and down more than a fiddler's elbow in terms of opinion, whether someone is doing a good job or not.
