Hearts demand serious response to Celtic pitch invasion

Hearts have urged the authorities to treat last weekend's pitch invasion by Celtic supporters with the seriousness it demands. The club's statement appeared to target Hoops manager Martin O'Neill for his recent remarks, which they described as highly irresponsible. The incident took place during a match last weekend, when Celtic fans entered the playing surface. The invasion disrupted the proceedings and raised safety concerns. In its appeal, Hearts specifically referenced O'Neill's comments, labeling them highly irresponsible. The club suggested that the remarks contributed to the atmosphere surrounding the incident. Hearts called for a firm response from football governing bodies and local authorities. They emphasized that any action taken should reflect the gravity of the situation. The statement did not detail any further measures or potential sanctions. No additional comments were provided by either club at the time of release. Hearts await a decision from the relevant authorities regarding the handling of the pitch invasion. The club expects the matter to be resolved promptly.
