Kenny Miller has called out Hibs over a "dirty tactic" in the match against Celtic.

Boss Lee Johnson was shown a yellow card after an extra ball was thrown onto the pitch - which appeared to come from the Hibs bench area.

The incident earned Johnson a booking from referee Steven McLean on behalf of the whole backroom team after the action by an unidentified figure.

Johnson joked after the Parkhead encounter that whoever was responsible would be ‘fined two weeks’ wages’.

However, the caution will see Johnson suspended from April 1 with the yellow card being his fourth of the season.

A Hampden spokesperson said: "Lee Johnson has been reported for his fourth caution in a season and will be suspended from 1 April 2023."

The incident was also called out by pundit Miller who branded the incident a "dirty tactic".

Having been alerted to the reason behind the caution by a caller on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard, Miller slammed the actions.

He blasted: "If a coach or an assistant has kicked the ball onto the pitch, it's a dirty tactic for me.

"In that particular scenario, it was a real dirty tactic.

"If the ball is out and you're throwing the ball on while the ball is dead...

"But in-play, I don't know exactly what happened, but if it was an in-game thing and the ball was thrown on to stop a situation for Celtic to benefit then I don't like it at all."
