Hearts have said the behaviour of some Celtic fans “embarrassed Scottish football” amid what the club described as “disturbing” reports of “serious physical and verbal abuse towards players and staff” in the aftermath of Saturday’s Scottish Premiership title decider.
In a strong statement, Hearts condemned the “shameful scenes” at Celtic Park after hundreds of celebrating supporters invaded the pitch following Callum Osmand’s title-sealing goal, with some goading and confronting Hearts players after the visitors missed out on their first league title since 1960 in a dramatic finale.
