HEARTS reacted with shock and dismay last night after receiving a record £100,000 SFA fine for a seventh successive season of poor on-field discipline.
The final act of the association’s now-disbanded disciplinary committee was to hand out the highest fine ever imposed on a Scottish club for indiscipline, of which £60,000 is payable immediately and £40,000 is suspended.
Hearts revealed last night that they would appeal the penalty, which comes after seven successive seasons falling foul of the SFA’s disciplinary code, and 12 months after a then-record fine of £60,000.
