Celtic penalty evidence shoots outlandish Hibs gripe down as 'not one person' claim falls apart

dailyrecord.co.uk

Stewing Nick Montgomery's sense of injustice was evident across three gutted post-match interviews. Those of Hibs persuasion were left inconsolable as they lost to Celtic 2-1 despite having the misfiring Premiership champions teetering on the brink at Easter Road.

Montgomery has been keen to fight for his club and there was no major shock he offered the counter-argument to spot kicks awarded for fouls on Alistair Johnston and Kyogo Furuhashi.

The 42-year-old also went to bat for Martin Boyle who was shown a yellow card for simulation for an incident where he collapsed to the turf after, what appeared as, minimal contact with Alexandro Bernabei.

Montgomery reckons Nick Walsh and his VAR official were off on the big calls. But the Hibs manager's complaint of the winning Celtic penalty falls flat over one particular gripe he had over the award.
