Video released of football fan throwing bottle at elderly woman

A video has been released of the moment when a man, thought to be a Hearts fan, threw what appears to be a beer bottle. The bottle struck a woman in the face. She was in a crowd of Celtic fans on the street at Sainsbury’s near Murrayfield. According to social media was Hearts’  PR manager Clare Cowan’s mother.

The woman had to be taken to A&E after the incident.

Video and still images were released on Twitter.

So this is the video of the coward that hit my 70 year old Nana with a bottle before the game on Sunday. If anyone recognises him or knows who he is, please get in touch. Any help is much appreciated 👍🏼 **RETWEET** pic.twitter.com/qhUfUutFDl
