Hearts and Hibs fined and Rocky Bushiri banned for derby dust up after explosive final day Tynecastle clash

Hearts and Hibs have been fined £6,000 and £6,400 respectively while Rocky Bushiri has been handed a two-game ban after it all kick-off on the last day of the season.

Hibs were hit with the higher penalty due to a previous breach of the same rule last year. Staff and players from both sides piled onto the park to confront each other after the 1-1 draw at Tynecastle, which saw Hearts pip their rivals to fourth spot in the Premiership after playing an hour with ten men. Youtaro Oda opened the scoring early before Kevin Nisbet took advantage of Alex Cochrane's red card, firing the resulting free-kick beyond Zander Clark to level things up.

Tempers flared after the final whistle however, after Lee Johnson appeared to aim a dig into the ribs of opposite number Steven Naismith after they shook hands. That sparked a furious reaction from the Hearts bench, and both dugouts engaged in a spot of handbags as accusations over who was at fault flew. The anger spilled over onto the pitch as the players - some of whom such as Bushiri hadn't even played - squared up to each other. Hibs' Manchester City loanee CJ Egan-Riley appeared to be in the thick of it, taking issue with Hearts defender Toby Sibbick.
