Celts cry foul over Hearts' website jibeHEARTS faced a barrage of complaints after the club's official website branded Celtic fans a "gypsy support". The phrase was contained in a match report after the team's 2-1 loss against Celtic on Saturday. Fans of both teams were reported to have contacted the site to condemn the slur - which was quickly replaced by "home support". And some called for the SFA to fine the Tynecastle club. But Hearts said the person who wrote it had apologised and they were taking no further action. One irate Hearts fan posted a message calling the author of the offensive report an "idiot". Some Celtic supporters saw the funny side, with one writing on a fans' site: "As soon as I find the key to lock up my caravan I'm going round to the SFA to complain." A Celtic spokesman said: "It is extremely disappointing that an official club website should use such a phrase."  Taken from the Scotsman |
