Hearts are docked 15 points for next season by the Scottish Premier League after going into administration.

Hearts have been docked 15 points for next season by the Scottish Premier League after going into administration.

The Edinburgh-based club have also been hit with a transfer embargo following the appointment of administrators at Tynecastle Stadium on Wednesday.

"As Heart of Midlothian is subject to an Insolvency Event, a 15-point deduction will be applied to its total points in the League Championship for next season 2013-14," read a statement on the SPL's official website.

"In addition, Heart of Midlothian is subject to an embargo on registering players with the SPL whilst in administration."

It is believed that a UK-based consortium is considering a takeover of the club.
