Lawrence Shankland says the Hearts players were laughing at the chaos against Almeria by the time they returned to the dressing room - playing the furore down as "nothing major."
The Jambos were trailing 1-0 to the La Liga side in Spain when a challenge from Alex Cochrane caused all sorts of bedlam. An Almeria player grabbed the Hearts left-back by the throat and both benches then spilled onto the pitch in a mass brawl with a clip of the madness going viral on social media.
With tensions flaring in the friendly, Robbie Neilson called a stop to the action and returned his players to the dressing room to prevent things kicking off again. Hearts now focus on their return to Premiership action against Kilmarnock next weekend and Scotland striker Shankland insists they won't be thinking too much about the abandoned friendly.
