Raging Raith Rovers defender Dougie Hill has described Jamie Hamill as “embarrassing” after being sent off for a clash with the Hearts midfielder.

Hill was red carded in the 74th minute of the League Cup tie between the pair for apparently headbutting the ex-Kilmarnock man.

However Hill took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to point the finger of blame at Hamill.

He wrote: “Never touched him...if anything it was him who tried to make contact.

“Embarrassing from him.”

Rovers manager Grant Murray said after the match, which Hearts won 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes of action, that referee Brian Colvin had got the call wrong.

Murray said: "It was not a sending-off, I've seen the video evidence.

"It changes the game as well. We have to take it on the chin and move on."
