Hearts have been hit with two separate fines for flashpoints during their opening pair of Europa Conference League Group A fixtures .
The Jambos have been charged €3,000 for the "Lighting of fireworks and throwing objects" during their clash with İstanbul Başakşehir and a further €2,250 for "Throwing of objects" in Riga against RFS. They lost 4-0 in the Tynecastle match with Istanbul but their first trip abroad was more fruitful, claiming three points in a successful 2-0 win.
Fiorentina are next for them on matchday four after a sobering 3-0 defeat against the Serie A side last week, but Hearts hopes of Europa Conference League qualification are very realistic if they get a positive result in Florence. They aren't the only Scottish team punished, Celtic being handed a five-figure fine by UEFA after fans displayed an anti-monarchy banner at their Champions League game with Shakhtar Donetsk . The Queen sadly passed away last month aged 96 with the news announced during Hearts' showdown with Turkish opposition in Edinburgh.

The two sides took part in a silence and wore black armbands ahead of the second-half of the Tynecastle clash. As a mark of respect the full SPFL card was postponed, but during the Celtic game, some Hoops supporters displayed a banner that read "F*** the crown" with another reading: "Sorry for your loss Michael Fagan".
UEFA have now taken action hitting the club in the pockets with a €15,000 fine. They cite the reason as being: "Message not fit for a sports event." They were also in hot water for the use of fireworks in the home clash with Real Madrid with a fine of €4,250.
Rangers have also landed a €14,000 fine for "Improper conduct of the team" at their Ibrox showdown with Napoli.
