The majority of the Hearts players have now agreed to take club-imposed wage cuts.The Jambos stars have accepted reductions ranging from 10 to 30 per cent, with the deals all agreed before Ann Budge ’s 5pm deadline.A couple of internationalists are still in talks but are expected to agree to the same cuts over the next 24 hours.
The Hearts players had been in an uneasy stand-off with their owner who had threatened to evoke the controversial clause 12 loophole that would allow her to suspend wages during the current pandemic.It now means the Tynecastle playing staff will now receive their May wage minus the agreed reductions.
