The loyalist song was played out during a fans' open day
Hearts have issued an apology to supporters after 'The Sash' was played over their PA system during an open day at the weekend.
The loyalist song could be heard on a video circulating round social media during a Foundation of Hearts event.
The Tynecastle side have issued an apology to fans and have completed an investigation into the incident.
They've also made it clear the song 'has no place' at their ground.
A club statement said: "During the day’s festivities, an incident occurred whereby a song was played over the PA system.
"The song in question has no connection to Hearts and it has no place at Tynecastle. As soon as the club was made aware of the issue the PA system was switched off, the incident investigated and swiftly concluded.
"Club officials apologised at the time to those inside the stadium who brought the matter to their attention.
"The club would now like to further extend that apology to our wider fanbase after videos of the incident were shared on social media.
"Procedures have already been implemented that will ensure such an incident is never repeated".
