Hearts in pitch invasion message to fans amid possible title party as Tynecastle braced for 'emotional moment'

Hearts have urged supporters to stay off the pitch in the event of a Jambos title win against Falkirk this evening.

Three points over the Bairns and a Motherwell win against second-placed Celtic will see the current Premiership leaders confirmed as champions with a game to go. The capital outfit would love to celebrate glory on their own patch rather than a possible final day shootout with Celtic at Parkhead, as Falkirk are the final opponent to come to Tynecastle this term, where Hearts are unbeaten on league business.

Colin Chisholm will again lead supporters on his 1986 version of ‘The Hearts Song’ as an atmosphere of hope and nerves is set to create an unprecedented Gorgie atmosphere. In a statement, Hearts acknowledge what’s at stake, but have urged supporters to keep in the stands if they do clinch a first top flight title since 1960.

What have Hearts said about pitch invasions vs Falkirk?

A statement reads: “Falkirk’s visit to Tynecastle Park on this evening marks Heart of Midlothian’s final home game of season 2025/26. It has been an exciting and memorable season, with the potential to be historic, and there can be no doubting the huge part our magnificent supporters have played throughout the entire campaign.

“The backing of the fans has been supreme, be it at home or on the road, and everyone at Hearts extends their thanks for your support. It is not, and will never be, taken for granted. In keeping with traditions old, at full time the first team squad will perform a lap of honour around the pitch. As always, this is as much for the team to say thank you to the stands as it is for the fans to be closer to the team.

“Given the various scenarios that could play out, this has the potential to be an emotional moment. We therefore implore supporters not to make any attempts to enter the pitch. We encourage fans to make it a night to remember – as they have done all season – for all the right reasons, because everyone in maroon deserves it.

Will Colin Chisholm perform during Hearts vs Falkirk?

“In keeping with traditions new, Colin Chisholm will perform another rousing rendition of the Hearts Song as the team make their way onto the pitch against a backdrop of flames and controlled pyrotechnics. We hope this will, once again, set the tone for what is to come in the 90 minutes following.

“Supporters should be aware that road closures may be in place in the surrounding areas of the stadium come full time, from Robertson Avenue to McLeod Street. An in-stadium announcement will be made if that is the case. Once again, thank you and we look forward to welcoming you back to Gorgie for the last time this season.”
