The backlash from Hearts' abandoned friendly with Spanish side Almeria hasn't missed the front pages in the country's media.
The Gorgie outfit were enjoying a warm weather break prior to league action commencing following the conclusion of the World Cup. And as part of the camp, Robbie Neilson's men were set to face the La Liga side in a friendly clash that turned majorly ugly when an all-out brawl ensued on the pitch prior to half time.
In an incident widely shared on social media, Hearts star Alex Cochrane was confronted by Rodrigo Ely of Almeria before both sets of players got involved in the fracas. The two men in question were ordered off before the game was officially scrapped by the referee, sparking huge reaction from Robbie Neilson who branded the scenes 'shambolic'.
