Ryan Porteous has been told to show his class by Hibs boss ahead of what is sure to be a pumped-up Pittodrie when the Easter Road face Aberdeen on Friday night.
Dons gaffer Jim Goodwin launched a scathing attack on the Scotland international in the wake of his team’s defeat at Easter Road in September. Goodwin accused the defender of ‘conning’ referee David Dickinson over the penalty he won in a tussle with Liam Scales, which led to the Dons player being shown a second yellow card.
Goodwin is banned from the touchline for Aberdeen’s next two games after the club appealed against his initial six-game ban over the comments. Johnson said: “It's part of his progression dealing with hostile crowds. I don't know the mentality going into the game.
