Hearts midfielder Ian Black vowed to move on with his career after being cleared of a drug charge.

Black released a statement on his club's official website after appearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.

Black had been charged with possession of a Class A drug after being arrested in May last year.

The 26-year-old said today: "Obviously I am very pleased.

"That's it as far I am concerned. I want to draw a line under the whole thing and focus on my football.

"It has been hanging over myself and the family for a while but all I want to do is get back playing my best for Hearts.

"I'd like to thank my team-mates and the staff at the football club for their support, as well as my family and close friends."
