Hearts have come under fire from supporters as their Premiership clash with Partick Thistle continues to remain in doubt.

The Gorgie club released a statement late on Saturday afternoon stating that work was continuing on their new main stand in order to get the clash on despite stating yesterday a noon deadline had been set.

Hearts are desperately trying to gain a temporary safety certificate from Edinburgh council and have safety inspectors on site as the building works continue, with reports suggesting a decision may not now arrive until after 8pm this evening.

The statement read: "The club is continuing to work with Building Control with the aim of hosting tomorrow's Ladbrokes Premiership match against Partick Thistle.

"Further updates will follow in due course."

Supporters wasted no time in taking to social media to slate the capital club and branded the situation a "farce" with the match due to take place in less than 24 hours.
