Hearts players still waiting for wages
Several Hearts players are still waiting to receive last week’s wages, despite the club assuring them the money would be in their bank accounts on Monday.
The Clydesdale Bank Premier League club failed to pay any of their squad on Friday, the second time this season players have been left out of pocket.
It is understood that a number of players, including several star names, have agreed for their wages to be deferred.
The hope is the deferred cash will be included in the players' next pay packets, which are due to be received tomorrow.
However, the club have chosen not to offer an explanation for this latest twist in what is becoming a wages saga.
Problems first emerged in September when Hearts failed to pay both players and staff on time.
The matter was dismissed as a “technical” issue and all those affected eventually received the money, with the club confidently predicting the problem was “highly unlikely” to recur.
However, it emerged on Saturday that players again had not been paid.
