The subject of delayed player wages at Hearts is set to be high on the agenda at today's Scottish Premier League board meeting.

The Hearts first-team squad and the Scottish PFA delivered a letter of complaint to the SPL after the player's wages failed to were not paid for the third successive month.

Manager Paulo Sergio has praised the fighting spirit of his side as the turmoil continues.

"I'm very happy with the boys," Sergio told Hearts TV.

"They deserve it, they are living very hard times. We have to learn to fight together, not to turn our backs on the problems and be cowards.

"It's about the cumulative, it's thinking as one, as the team. It's for Hearts that I'm here. Thinking always about Hearts, not just one individual person."

Hearts beat Dunfermline 4-0 this weekend.
