Lewis Stevenson admits new Hibs tricks are needed in changing defensive landscape amid extended contract hope

dailyrecord.co.uk

Lewis Stevenson remembered how to score again as a rare goal secured Hibernian a point and a shot at Europe. Learning entirely new tricks like how to make a fully-committed tackle and avoid a red card in the current climate could, however, be beyond him.

The 35-year-old felt for team-mate Jimmy Jeggo after the midfielder was sent off by Craig Napier when he slid in to win the ball before colliding with Saints’ Connor McLennan.

Inexplicably, VAR Chris Graham backed Napier’s curious call to dismiss the Austrian. That saw Hibs boss Lee Johnson launch a savage attack on the ref’s performance and the entire officiating set-up.

He may have gone in even harder if the blunder had proved costly to his team’s top-six ambitions, but they were able to see out the draw with 10 men.
