The BBC Scotland feed for the important Hearts vs FC Zurich Europa League qualification second leg has cut out on fans.
Several supporters have taken to Twitter to blast the broadcaster and are scratching their heads as to why the issue has not been resolved. Coverage cut out shortly after the 70th minute with the tie evenly poised.
However the Jambos had their work cut out after going down to ten men following what appeared to be a shameless dive from Jorge Grant. Nonetheless, viewers from across the capital reacted in disbelief as the feed continued to be down well into the closing stages of the match.

Reacting to the loss of pictures, one Twitter user wrote: “BBC Scotland has gone down during one of the biggest games in years for Hearts FC. They are playing birdsong to soothe the fans.”
Another responded by and commented: “Paying for a tv licence for a channel that cant even stream a football match.”
Whereas another supporter compounded the misery.
They added: “The calming sounds of nature as hearts lose out on seven million. Therapeutic for any Jambos watching.”
One fan was left perplexed as they claimed the same feed was somehow working in Switzerland.
They added: “BBC feed of Hearts down in Scotland. Same feed working on Swiss TV.
"Shambles it seems.”
Hearts' Twitter page tried to calm fans fears and assured them that the feed would be back up and running as soon as possible.
They said: “Folks, we apologise for the Hearts TV feed going down but the host broadcaster is experiencing technical issues. We hope to have it sorted soon.”
The BBC was able to resurrect their coverage around the 85th minute but sadly Hearts fell behind to an FC Zurich goal scored by Fabian Rohner in the 80th minute. But the good news for the Hearts faithful is that they will drop into the Europa Conference League and compete against teams across the continent in money spinning ties that should bring millions into the clubs coffers.
