James Hill has issued an apology to the Hearts travelling support for his reaction at full-time against Aberdeen.
The stopper - on loan from Bournemouth - attempted to go over to the fans at full-time to thank them for their backing in the Pittodrie hammering but it ended in a slight confrontation as he revealed what was said to him that sparked the situation. Robbie Neilson's men crashed to a crushing 3-0 defeat with the home side three goals to the good before the half hour mark in the north east.
Hearts now sit just four points ahead of the Dons in the race to finish best of the rest behind Celtic and Rangers while Hibs and Livingston are still in touching distance with just six points between sixth and third with four games to be played before the league split. Hill says his reaction came down to the anger he shared with the support after the display and says he will give his 'absolute all' between now and the end of the campaign.
