Hearts defender Alan Maybury could face a trial by television after appearing to punch Hibs midfielder Scott Brown in Sunday's Edinburgh derby.

The Republic of Ireland international seemed to aim a punch at Brown during the first half of the 1-1 draw at Easter Road.

The incident went unnoticed by referee Mike McCurry, but television pictures have caught the bust-up and Maybury may now find himself in trouble with The Scottish Football Association.

Hibs boss Bobby Williamson was unhappy that the match officials failed to spot the Maybury incident.

"I find it disappointing that three officials cannot see these incidents," said Williamson.
