Chris Sutton sent his support to Neil Lennon by ear cupping on BT Sport last night.
The Hibs boss has been under attack since Saturday after cupping his ears at Ibrox after Simon Murray equalised for Hibs.
Lennon was subjected to constant anti-Irish abuse throughout the afternoon but the football authorities have been silent on that matter.
After Ibrox fans group Club 1872 issued a statement blaming Lennon for various matters fans of other clubs picked up on Lennon’s ear-cupping gesture.

In just over a day more than 6,000 fans signed a petition requesting an investigation into the abuse aimed at the Hibs boss.
Lennon hasn’t said a word in public since Saturday but will give a media conference on Friday to preview Hibs’ home match with Hamilton Accies the following day.
While others get worked up into a frenzy over his Ibrox gesture the Irishman is working on continuing Hibs impressive start to the season which sees them joint top of the Premiership and facing Livingston for a place in the semi-final of the League Cup.
