The Lord Provost sends his commiserations to everyone at Heart of Midlothian Football Club following their loss to Celtic.
Lord Provost Robert Aldridge said: “On behalf of the city, I want to pass on my commiserations to everyone at Heart of Midlothian FC, the players, their fans and everyone who has been rooting for the team during this incredible season. The players gave absolutely everything at Celtic Park this afternoon and to lose so late in the game was truly heart-breaking.
“The club has had such a great campaign, bringing so much joy, excitement and inspiration to their fans and to the wider community. They really have been the ‘talk of the toon’ and in recent weeks the buzz in and around Gorgie has been palpable.
“The players’ hard work and spirit has been something to behold and, despite today’s disappointment, I’m sure this will stand them in good stead for next season.”
