Hearts striker Christian Nadé 'punched' team-mate in dressing-room row

The Heart of Midlothian striker Christian Nadé could face a heavy fine from the club after a fracas with his team-mate Ian Black in the dressing room immediately after Wednesday night's 2-0 loss to Celtic. Nadé, one of the highest earners at Tynecastle, allegedly struck Black after a brief dispute between the pair which related to their performances in the match. The incident has infuriated the Hearts manager, Jim Jefferies, who held meetings with club officials. The former Sheffield United player is now poised to be hit with a gross misconduct charge, which would put his future at Hearts in serious jeopardy. Nadé's contract expires this summer. He is unlikely to feature as Falkirk visit Tynecastle tomorrow although club sources have stressed that may have been the case even before the dressing-room incident, such was Jefferies' discontent with Nadé's performance against Celtic.
