Confusion has reigned over an alleged "dirty tactic" from Hibs at Celtic Park at the weekend, with Lee Johnson booked after a second ball appeared on the pitch.
Celtic battled back from behind to overcome the 10-man Hibees on an afternoon fraught with controversy in Glasgow's east end. Three penalties were awarded by whistler Steven McLean, albeit with one overturned by VAR, and amid all the chaos it appears one contentious moment has flown under the radar. It came in the first half after Josh Campbell had given Hibs the lead from the penalty spot, as a second ball was thrown on to the pitch just as Alistair Johnston went to take a free-kick inside the Hibs half.
The bizarre moment was shown on the Sportscene highlights with the commentator noting it came from the Hibs technical area. Straight after it appeared, referee McLean went over to book Johnson who looked in disbelief when the yellow card was shown. He even pointed to the dugout, as if to protest his innocence.
