Neil Lennon has reacted to being hit with a coin thrown by a supporter during Hibs' 0-0 draw with Hearts at Tynecastle on Wednesday night.

The Hibs head coach fell to the ground clutching his face in the final minutes of the derby, and received medical treatment after being struck.

The incident came at the end of a match in which Hearts goalkeeper Zdenek Zlamal was "punched" by an opposition supporter and assistant referees, Frank Connor and David McGeachie, were both said to have been struck by objects.

In a lengthy post-match media conference, Lennon detailed his anger and said that action had to be taken to prevent such incidents occuring again.

He said: "I'm very, very angry. I'm fizzing about it.

"It's disgraceful. I don't blame the club - you can't legislate for the hatred of some individuals or the badness. What possesses people to throw things on to a football pitch I will never know.

"I believe Zlamal was hit as well. It's just ridiculous. We don't defend that behaviour from our supporters as well. Hopefully both individuals will be singled out.

"I would like to meet the individual who threw the coin at me some day, because I am not happy about it at all."
