Heart of Midlothian has utterly condemned the 'disgraceful' scenes at Celtic Park after a pitch invasion occurred as Celtic supporters took to the pitch to celebrate their title win. The Tynecastle club issued a scathing statement after reports of physical and verbal abuse towards players and staff. Derek McInnes, the manager, and his staff were forced to leave the stadium immediately after the match with a police escort for the team bus to leave Glasgow. Heart of Midlothian officials have branded reports of abuse as 'deeply disturbing', stating the atmosphere was 'menacing and threatening'. The club has called for the 'strongest action possible to be taken by the footballing authorities' to protect the safety of players and supporters. Heart of Midlothian players were denied the opportunity to thank their fans for their backing this season due to the chaotic scenes. The club pays tribute to Derek McInnes, his staff, and the supporters for their efforts this season. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation from the football community. Heart of Midlothian will investigate the incident fully and are in dialogue with Police Scotland. The club's statement read: 'Heart of Midlothian utterly condemns the shameful scenes at Celtic Park this afternoon which have, once again, embarrassed Scottish football.' The incident occurred after Celtic sealed their title win with a third goal, prompting a pitch invasion by Celtic supporters. And so the club's season ends on a sour note, with the focus now on ensuring player and supporter safety. But the club's statement makes it clear that they will not tolerate such behavior. So the footballing authorities must take action to prevent such incidents in the future.
