James Hill has apologised to Hearts fans for reacting to flak directed at the team after Saturday’s 3-0 thumping at Aberdeen.
The Jambos sold out their 1800 allocation at Pittodrie and supporters vented towards Robbie Neilson’s players at the full time whistle of a third defeat on the spin. On-loan Bournemouth defender Hill got caught up in a confrontation after the Scottish Premiership clash as he responded to some of the criticism.
But Hill has moved to explain his reaction on Instagram saying: "I just want to apologise to the Hearts supporters for my reaction after the full time whistle on Saturday. Like you, I was angry and frustrated with the result. As I went to thank the fans at full time, a supporter repeatedly shouted at me to get back down to Bournemouth and obviously that hurt me as I've never given anything less than 100 per cent in a Hearts shirt.
"I've loved every minute of my time at the club. The fans are second to none and that's why Saturday's performance hurt so bad. I reacted in frustration by shouting back that I never give anything less than my all. But I realise it was wrong of me to do so.
"The Hearts fans were brilliant on Saturday despite the loss and I can assure you I was every bit as angry as you here, hence my reaction. I'll continue to give my absolute all for the maroon jersey between now and the end of the season and there was no intention to disrespect the travelling supporters."
