Whilst observing the conclusion of the legal proceedings, Hibernian FC investigated this internally.
The Club fully understands the severity of this incident, as does Ryan, and he has been handed the maximum possible fine, alongside receiving punishment at Court.
Hibernian FC expects the highest standards of responsible behaviour from its players and staff. This has been firmly reinforced to the player.
This will now remain a private matter and Hibernian FC will make no further comment.
