Hearts donate £3000 to Hamilton Accies after pyro damages New Douglas Park pitch

Hearts have donated £3000 to Hamilton Accies to say sorry for the damage fans caused to the New Douglas Park pitch in last week's Scottish Cup clash.

During the clash on February 10, which the Jambos won 2-0, fans launched a smoke bomb onto the field of play after Stephen Humphrys opened the scoring in the first half.

The pyrotechnics scorched the artificial surface and now, by way of apology, Hearts' chief executive Andrew McKinlay has announced that they made a donation of £3k to Hamilton's youth academy. Seats in the away section were also damaged during the fifth round tie.
