Hearts players paid March wages

Hearts' first-team squad and staff have received their overdue March wages in full, Press Association Sport understands.

Salaries were significantly delayed for the fourth time this season on March 16, but now owed monies have been paid ahead of Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at home to Aberdeen.

Hearts avoided the prospect of unlimited sanctions from the Scottish Premier League after three successive months of delays in January, but only after proving the payment had been made by the required due date.
