Hearts have made a donation to Hamilton’s youth academy to apologise for pyro pitch damage caused by fans. The Jambos booked their spot in the quarter-final of the Scottish Cup with a 2-0 win in Lanarkshire last Friday night.

Robbie Neilson's team were backed by a bumper travelling support of 3,327 - the biggest away attendance in New Douglas Park’s history.

They were in fine voice as Stephen Humphrys and Cammy Devlin sent the capital club through to the last eight, where they will face Celtic at Tynecastle.

However, not all were on their best behaviour in Lanarkshire. Pyrotechnics were smuggled in and thrown on the pitch after Humprhys opened the scoring, causing damage to the artificial playing surface.
