BBC refute Hearts fans' criticism and say Scottish Cup final coverage 'fair'
The BBC has defended its coverage of Hearts’ epic defeat on penalties in the Scottish Cup final.
A section of Jambos fans criticised the corporation over commentary, which they felt focused more on cup holders, and winners, Celtic than Robbie Neilson’s Tynecastle team.
Some viewers said they turned the sound off and watched the showpiece event in silence.
