Hearts handed UEFA fines as two incidents on Europa Conference League duty lead to punishment

Hearts have been hit with two separate fines for flashpoints during their opening pair of Europa Conference League Group A fixtures .

The Jambos have been charged €3,000 for the "Lighting of fireworks and throwing objects" during their clash with İstanbul Başakşehir and a further €2,250 for "Throwing of objects" in Riga against RFS. They lost 4-0 in the Tynecastle match with Istanbul but their first trip abroad was more fruitful, claiming three points in a successful 2-0 win.

Fiorentina are next for them on matchday four after a sobering 3-0 defeat against the Serie A side last week, but Hearts hopes of Europa Conference League qualification are very realistic if they get a positive result in Florence. They aren't the only Scottish team punished, Celtic being handed a five-figure fine by UEFA after fans displayed an anti-monarchy banner at their Champions League game with Shakhtar Donetsk . The Queen sadly passed away last month aged 96 with the news announced during Hearts' showdown with Turkish opposition in Edinburgh.
