Hearts Head Coach Robbie Neilson has been censured by the SFA. Scottish football’s governing body’s Judicial Panel met at Hampden Park this morning to discuss the incident during Hearts final league game of the season against Rangers at Tynecastle on 2 May when Neilson was sent to the stand by referee Callum Murray. He was then issued a notice of complaint from the SFS Compliance Officer.
The Panel decided against banning the Hearts chief from the dugout but he has been formally warned about his future conduct.
Hearts, meanwhile, have announced they have sold more than 11,000 season tickets for the forthcoming SPFL Premiership campaign. The Maroon Army are clearly relishing their side’s return to the top flight of Scottish football despite the fact there will be no Edinburgh derby in the new season for the first time in 17 years.
