Celtic and Hearts took part in an entertaining and fiery affair on Sunday.

Seven separate Hearts players were yellow carded during the game as the tackles flew.

Scott Sinclair became an instant hero with the Celtic support after coming off the bench and running the length of the field to get on the end of a Leigh Griffiths cross. It was a fantastic moment for the Englishman who only officially signed for the club early Sunday morning.

However, there was an unsavoury moment that could have been so much worse had two Hearts fans connected with what they were trying to do.

Watch this video where Sinclair runs behind the goals to get to the Celtic fans, before he gets to them he runs past the Hearts support where two men blatantly try and strike the player.

You could argue this was heat of the moment but if either connected with Sinclair then there would have been serious repercussions. Should they be excused because they failed in their attempt at making contact?

Hearts must look at the footage and address this.
