HIBERNIAN have responded to BT Sport's Celtic and Rangers-themed Betfred Cup semi-final advert by creating one of their own.
The broadcaster caused a social media stir with its promotion of this weekend's cup clashes by enlarging the words 'Celtic' and 'Rangers' to more than twice the size of their opponents Hibs and Motherwell.
Hibs fan Pete Dobosz posted a screenshot of the offending advert and described it as 'everything that is wrong with Scottish football in one BT Sport football advert.'

The Easter Road outfit responded to the controversy by posting its own promotion with 'Hibernian' written in giant letters as they look to sell the remaining tickets for Saturday's clash at the national stadium.
