The Easter Road gaffer takes no consolation from the admission that two big calls against his side were wrong.
Nick Montgomery says it's as good as a 'punch to the face' for Hibs to see the VAR review panel admit that two big decisions against them were wrong.
It was found that Hearts should not have been awarded the penalty from which they equalised in the 1-1 draw at Tynecastle, and that Montgomery's side SHOULD have had a spot-kick in their 2-1 home defeat by St Johnstone in April while the match was goalless. Hibs subsequently missed out on the top six by a point and an angry Montgomery said: "Looking at the incidents that came out this week, it's just like another punch in the face, I'll be honest.
"So for the VAR to call the referee over in the Hearts game, for instance, to review it - and everybody knows it's wrong, that really does beggar belief. I think the decisions we've had this season, especially in this latter part, have really impacted our season." "They're discussions that are ongoing. We have to work within the budget that we have. There's never a guarantee on anything until a player signs a contract but we're constantly looking for players that can come in."
