POLICE are investigating reports a young Hearts fan had to receive medical attention after being hit by a pyrotechnic at Pittodrie.

The pyrotechnic was set off by Hearts fans during the Jambos' Premiership clash with Aberdeen and resulted in the young supporter being escorted from the ground by medics.

Record Sport Online contacted an Aberdeen official who confirmed there was a "loud bang" in the stand where Hearts fans were sitting.

The police have been informed of the incident and are investigating.

Last month, Hearts banned 10 yobs who shamed the club.

The group were identified by Hearts' security team and told they are no longer welcome at Tynecastle after allegedly attacking a Ross County supporters’ bus last month.

The thugs were alleged to have pushed the bus driver and stolen a County fan’s drum and a steward’s cap. Hearts also condemned the setting off of flares inside the stadium during the 2-0 win on October 24.

Furious club owner Ann Budge ripped into the troublemakers at the time and vowed to dish out bans.
