McGeady is no cheat, says Mowbray

TONY MOWBRAY denied Aiden McGeady was a cheatafter the Celtic star was shown a second yellow card for diving in the 1-0 Clydesdale Bank Premier League win over Hibernian at Easter Road.

Hoops’ striker Georgios Samaras put the visitors into the lead five minutes from the break when he headed an Andreas Hinkel cross past the helpless Hibs keeper Graham Stack.

However, the game’s most controversial moment arrived in the 62nd minute when Republic of Ireland international McGeady, booked in the first half for a foul on Derek Riordan, picked up a second caution from referee Dougie McDonald for taking a dive in a touchline challenge with Hibs defender Paul Hanlon.
