SICKENED Hearts fans last night urged the club to sack child sex pervert Craig Thomson.

The Scotland under-21 right back has been put on the sex offenders register for five years for using the internet to prey on two girls aged just 12 and 13.

Bosses will meet Thomson, 20, next week but supporters want him out now.

One disgusted Hearts fan, Alfie Walker, 42, said: "They have to sack him.

"I've got two young daughters myself and we can't call ourselves a family club if this clown stays.

"Everyone I've spoken to is sickened, given the age of the girls.

"There's no way the club should try to get any money for him. His contract should be torn up."

The Record told how Thomson used Facebook to befriend the girls then sent them vile emails.

He engaged the children in sex chat, asked them about their body parts, and asked the older girl for sex as well as sending her a picture of male genitalia.

Thomson, of Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, spoke to the younger girl about a sex act and asked her to show him her breasts on a webcam.

He pled guilty to lewd, libidinous and indecent behaviour and was fined £4000.

Fans on Hearts forums united to condemn Thomson's sick actions.

One wrote: "As a father of a 13-year-old daughter, it disgusts me to think this cretin could be allowed to stay at our club."

Another branded Thomson a pervert, and added: "Good player or not, he has to be punted."

Hearts said: "The club is aware of the verdict and will go through the necessary internal procedure."

Thomson's agent, Hearts legend Gary Mackay, refused to comment.
