Lee Johnson SLAUGHTERS Steven Naismith and Hearts timewasting but Hibs boss accused of 'fishing'

Lee Johnson has let rip at rival Steven Naismith after the Edinburgh Derby ended in a brawl.

The Hibs boss was shown one of FOUR red cards after the final whistle in the 1-1 draw as the Jambos held on to fourth spot in the Premiership. Johnston appeared to lash out at the Gorgie boss to spark a 30 man pile up on the pitch. And the Hibs boss then blasted Naismith’s tactics, insisted the pair don’t get on and slaughter his opposite number for disrespecting Tynie predecessor Robbie Neilson.

Hearts goalie coach Paul Gallacher and backup keeper Ross Stewart were also carded for there part in the battle, along with Hibs sub Rocky Bashiri, with Alex Cochrane sent off after 30 minutes of the stormy encounter.There were punches thrown at the end – and even a hot water was lobbed – while defender Marijan Cabraja was also involved in a tussle with a Hearts fan during the match.
