Lee Johnson fires Hibs 'I'm coming for you' warning to Hearts boss Robbie Neilson

Lee Johnson swept into Edinburgh as the new manager of Hibs and warned former Hearts team mate Robbie Neilson - I’m coming for you.

The 40-year-old former Sunderland and Bristol City boss has agreed a four-year deal to succeed Shaun Maloney at Easter Road.
