A statement was issued by the club just hours before their Scottish Premiership match against Rangers on Sunday.
Stephen Robinson said: “I want to make clear that I deny the charges against me and any wrongdoing on Friday.
“I am very upset by what has become a distressing situation for my partner, myself and our families.
“We had a lovely day in Edinburgh and were trying to get home in good time before the incident occurred.
“It is not possible to give a detailed account when a legal process is under way, which adds to our family anxiety.
“I am confident this will be found to be a misunderstanding once the legal process has run its course.”
