Lee Johnson blasts SFA after Rocky Bushiri Hibs suspension saga leaves Leith boss red faced

dailyrecord.co.uk

Hibs boss Lee Johnson insists the Scottish FA need to have a good look at themselves over the Rocky Bushiri suspension saga.

The Leith side were left red faced in midweek after it turned out that the defender should not have played in Wednesday’s Premier Sports Cup penalty shoot out defeat to Morton.

Cup organisers the SPFL awarded a 3-0 result to Ton but in the end that outcome had no bearing over Hibs’ failure to reach the last 16 of the competition.

To make matters worse the SFA then issued Bushiri with a notice of complaint over an alleged breach of rule 208. While Johnson concedes that club need to sort out their own hour over the admin blunder, the ex-Sunderland manager also believes the SFA should have an automatic flagging system - something that is in place south of the border - when it comes to player suspensions.
