Facing a late free-kick after Ben Garuccio’s foul on Liam Grimshaw and subsequent red card with the score tied at 1-1, the Irish international appeared to have David Turnbull’s effort covered at his left-hand post.

However, the ball spiralled out of his hands and into the net via Doyle’s shoulder.

The former Blackpool and Bradford ‘keeper looked devastated after conceding the late goal, and apologised to the travelling Hearts support at the final whistle.

On Monday, the 33-year-old retweeted a video of his apology, adding: “Gutted about yesterday ending and result.

“No excuses. I cost us a point. I’ll learn from it and move on. #HHGH.”
