Hearts Fan Charged and Banned for Sinclair Swipe

A follow up to our article a few weeks back about some of the Hearts fans behaviour after Scott Sinclair’s debut winner. The player ran past the Hearts fans to celebrate with the Celtic fans. While passing the Hearts fans, a Jambos fan took a swipe at the player and someone also tried to spit on him.

One of our readers got in touch with us to let us know the outcome of the investigation into the incident and it is as follows:

In response to your previous email Police Scotland have informed the Club a 25-year-old man has been charged following an incident during the Hearts v Celtic game when an attempt was made to confront a Celtic player. The Club have written to the male concerned and informed him he is banned, with immediate effect, from attending any fixture involving Hearts pending the outcome of any criminal proceedings.
