The Scottish Premier League has dismissed a charge against Hearts for an alleged breach of their rules.

The Edinburgh club were charged with "failing to behave with the utmost good faith" over the delayed payment of player wages earlier this month.

However, a statement from the SPL on Friday confirmed: "The Scottish Premier League today announced that the charge against Heart of Midlothian FC for an alleged breach of SPL Rule A3.1 has been dismissed."
