Lee Johnson remains safe at Hibs - for now: why no panicked move, squad cull won't be easy, past errors
Their ninth loss in 11 games, the result – combined with the gaffer’s brutally-blunt assessment of the club’s predicament and the players’ quality in the aftermath – set tongues wagging.

But, with three-and-a-half years left on his contract, the 41 year-old’s job remains safe for now.
