Hibs to appeal Bartley red card

Last updated : 19 September 2016 By Steve Forbes

Hibs boss Neil Lennon has revealed that the club will appeal the red card that midfielder Marvin Bartley picked up on Saturday.

Bartley was sent off for a challenge on Ayr Utd midfielder Jamie Adams, but Hibs feel the decision was wrong.

Lennon said:

“I’m not convinced it was an ordering-off.

"There was no real malice in the tackle.

"There were a lot of cynical things that went on in the game and they only merited a yellow card.

“He’s bitterly disappointed. I’ll need to get the referee’s take on it but we’ll definitely consider an appeal.”
