Ref defends McGeady dismissal

Referee Dougie McDonald remains convinced that Celtic midfielder Aiden McGeady deserved his second yellow card for diving during the Hoops’ 1-0 win over Hibernian at Easter Road yesterday.

The game’s flashpoint came when the Republic of Ireland player, booked in the first half for a foul on Derek Riordan, was sent off by McDonald after he went to ground following a challenge by Hibs defender Paul Hanlon.
