Hibs striker Derek Riordan disciplined by the club

Hibs have tonight released a statement revealing that they have disciplined star striker Derek Riordan.

Riordan, 26, was involved in a minor disagreement with Bouncers of Edinburgh nightclub Garibaldi's at the weekend, that led to him being arrested by the Police.

The Statement reads:

“Hibernian today confirmed that Derek Riordan has been disciplined by the Club following an incident in Edinburgh over the weekend. While the incident itself was a minor offence of disorder in nature, the Club does not condone or accept the player's behaviour on this occasion.

The disciplinary action taken, details of which will remain private between the Club and the player, followed a meeting today with Chief Executive Scott Lindsay and Manager John Hughes.”
