A picture has appeared that seems to show Kyle Lafferty gesturing at Celtic fans.
The former Norwich and Sion striker had a nightmare afternoon before being substituted in the 71st minute.
As he made his way into the Hearts dug out Lafferty appeared to ‘give the finger’ to a nearby Celtic fan.
After he left the pitch Hearts had their best spell in the match with Esmael Goncalves scoring a consolation in the 84th minute.

Lafferty had two fouls given against him in the first ten minutes and seemed to be getting away with a fourth when he earned a yellow card for dissent in the 31st minute.
With Hearts toiling badly Lafferty elbowed Kieran Tierney but somehow escaped further punishment from referee Kevin Clancy.
After the match caretaker Hearts boss Jon Daly deflected attention away from his side’s defeat by commenting on quotes from Brendan Rosgers which he read shortly before today’s match.
