A Hearts fan has tragically passed away during the Edinburgh club’s clash against Rangers FC.
The medical emergency involving the supporter who was reportedly watching the game from the main stand, took place near the end of the home game on February 16.
Eyewitnesses from Tynecastle reported how they saw the person collapse before they frantically tried to get the attention of stewards before CPR was carried out by a Rangers medic in a bid to save the man’s life.
It is understood an ambulance also attended the scene. Tragically the club has confirmed he died at the stadium.
The club posted a statement and said: “It is with great sadness that the club can confirm that a Hearts supporter tragically passed away at Tynecastle Park today.”
They added: “A medical incident occurred during the closing stages of this afternoon’s match, and despite the best efforts of the emergency medical services, the supporter could not be saved.
“The club would like to thank the medical services and safety stewards in attendance for their swift action. The thoughts of everyone at Hearts are with the supporter’s family and friends at this extremely difficult time.”
Police Scotland has been approached for comment.
