SNS A man has been charged after a Hearts player was struck by a lighter during a match against Dundee United last month. The incident happened during the match Hearts won 3-2 at Tannadice on Sunday 10 August. An investigation was launched after a lighter was reported to have been thrown from the stands. Police Scotland said a 23-year-old man had now been arrested and charged in connection with alleged assault.

Hearts roared to the top of the Premiership on Saturday with a dominant 3-0 win over Falkirk to maintain their unbeaten start to the season, a game where left-back Milne lined up on the right side of midfield. Head coach Derek McInnes spoke pre-match about his side's lack of options for that position, but said Milne had impressed when dropped into the new role in their recent 2-0 win over Rangers at Ibrox.

Derek has that ability and experience; what we need is a period of stability to rebuild our team, making him a no-brainer for the job.

"We need a personality," Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon told BBC Scotland. "It's tough at times at Hearts, especially when things aren't going well...".
