JOSEPH Carter, the Head of Asthma and Lung UK Scotland, has called for the greater enforcement of the ban on pyrotechnics at sporting events following a spate of alarming incidents this season.
Kick-off in the Edinburgh derby match at Easter Road last Sunday was delayed because smoke bombs had been thrown onto the pitch by both Hibernian and Hearts supporters.
More smoke bombs were then set off by fans of the Tynecastle club after Josh Ginnelly had opened the scoring in the first-half of the Scottish Cup fourth round game.
