The aftershocks of Wednesday’s disorder at Tynecastle during the first Edinburgh derby of the season continued as Neil Lennon declared that he “may reconsider” his position as Hibs manager following the incident in which he was struck in the face by a coin in the closing moments of the fixture.

The Hearts goalkeeper, Zdenek Zlamal, was struck in the face by a Hibs fan and both assistant referees were the target for missiles thrown from the stands – a man has been charged with hurling a cardboard cup of soft drink towards one of the match officials – but Lennon believes that he is the subject of an extended and malign campaign.

Ahead of Hibs’ home game against St Johnstone, Lennon reacted to the familiar accusation that he is the author of his own misfortunes, in this case because he reacted to the Hearts fans’ celebrations of what they believed to be an injury-time winner by Clevid Dikamona by gesturing them to sit down when the goal was disallowed.

“It’s pretty poor, all this,” he said. “I was goading people? I bring it on myself? There was an effigy outside Tynecastle saying, ‘Hang Neil Lennon’ before the game. Did I bring that on myself?
