Hearts have been fined £4,000 after supporters spilled out of the stand when they took the lead against Liverpool at Anfield.

David Templeton's late goal levelled the Europa League tie on aggregate before Luis Suarez put Liverpool into the group stages.

A Uefa statement read: "Heart of Midlothian FC have been fined 5,000 by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body for "pitch invasion by supporters" at last month's UEFA Europa League play-off second-leg match at Anfield Road between Liverpool FC and the Scottish club."
