Last updated : 12 August 2012 By Covsupport News Service.

Gary Deegan has apologised for his tweet which cost him his Coventry City career.

Speaking ahead of today's Hibs v Hearts derby in which he could make his debut, Deegan, who off-loaded to Hibs after being disciplined by the Sky Blues said: "It was stupid.

"It had no malice in it and was taken out of context, and the club punished me for it, rightly so. I didn't even think when I wrote it.

"As a player you have to realise you are a role model for kids and you don't want to bring up like that."
