Hearts caretaker manager Stephen Frail has pledged to stamp out indiscipline at the club after they had three players sent off during Wednesday's 4-1 defeat at Dundee United.

The newly-installed interim boss watched on as Marius Zaliukas, Lee Wallace and Michael Stewart were dismissed on an afternoon to forget at Tannadice.

The Edinburgh club, who placed Frail in temporary charge on January 1, have now lost six consecutive league games.

"Indiscipline has been inherently wrong for a long time at the club," admitted Frail.

"Having no real leadership or a specific person in charge, it has been allowed to slip, and it is something that will need to be stopped as of tonight.

"I have been given the authority to pick the team, whether I am given the same authority over fining people when it comes to indiscipline I am hopeful, because that is a major factor of what is going wrong.

"We need to cut out petulance but they react to decisions where they think there is an injustice."
