TRAINSPOTTING author Irvine Welsh has tweeted his disgruntlement at the current managerial situation at Hibernian.
Welsh, a well-known Hibs supporter, complained that the club were "now not only officially back to being mediocre but institutionalising that status".
The tweet was sent in the wake of Hibs' 2-0 defeat at Celtic Park last night, with Welsh saying he was annoyed that "nobody gave much of a f**k" due to the club being without a manager at the moment.
Neil Lennon and his assistant Garry Parker left by mutual consent at the end of last month following a suspension by the club, with Eddie May and Grant Murray stepping up as caretakers while Hibs search for a successor.
Welsh tweeted: "Annoying thing is not that Hibs lost to Celtic at Parkhead today. It’s that nobody gave much of a fuck or thought ‘it wasn’t too bad given the circumstances.’ Lennon would have given a fuck.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
