Hibs striker Garry O’Connor hits back at diving claim

Hibs striker Garry O’Connor has insisted he is no diver after being booked for the second match in succession for “simulation”.

And Easter Road boss Pat Fenlon believes his star is perhaps suffering from the row which erupted following the controversial penalty O’Connor won against St Johnstone three months ago.

The SFA’s newly-appointed compliance officer Vincent Lunny “offered” O’Connor a two-match ban after that incident but Hibs mounted a robust defence of their player who was later declared innocent by an independent review panel.
