Hibs boss, Jack Ross, blasted the culprit following Hibs 3-0 defeat.

Ros said “I can’t get my head around why anyone would throw a glass bottle at another human.

“I just don’t get it. There are people who argue that behaviours on the pitch or around the pitch affect that.

“That’s garbage. Someone who does that deserves the consequences that come with it.”

A Hibs statement said they were “naturally disappointed at the actions of a few” and confirmed they would “review footage from all of the sections concerned to identify any individual involved”.

The Leith club invested a six-figure sum to update their security measures after two high-profile incidents at Easter Road last season.

In March, a glass bottle was aimed at Scott Sinclair from the same section of the main stand during the Scottish Cup quarter-final defeat against Celtic.
