Hibs have been spared SFA punishment after Irvine Welsh's made controversial comments about Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos on their club TV station.
Trainspotting author Welsh caused uproar when video emerged of punditry where he suggested the Colombian striker be “macheted into small pieces" on social media platforms.
The striker had been involved in a running battle with Easter Road favourite Ryan Porteous during the match.
Welsh was appearing alongside veteran TV anchor David Tanner and womens team favourite Joelle Murray when he made the barb.
STV report that after an SFA probe, Hibs will face no action following an apology and all footage of the flashpoint was removed from their channels.
They have been warned over future programs and the behavour of guests on the platform going forward.
Welsh said: “Morelos should have been off. That was outrageous.
“He should have been shown the red for that, no question about that at all, had it been Porteous he would have been off.”
Asked if the referee should have taken action, he said: “Yeah, I mean, where is he? Morelos kind of should basically be macheted into small pieces and sent in various packets to different corners of the globe for a challenge like that.
“And kind of consumed by seagulls.”
