Asked how close Hearts had come to signing him, Maclaren said: “I was letting my agent deal with it and there was a moment when he came back to me and said, ‘Hibs have come in with more proposals’. Darmstadt had the last say, really. It was in their best interests to accept the offer which was better for them, and Hibs came in with more force. “It showed they wanted me. Hibs were pushing hard and I had to make a decision, but there’s no bad blood as far as I’m concerned. I know it’s a big derby, but, for me, it wasn’t a case of picking one over the other, it was that Darmstadt held all the cards – but I’m happy to be here.”

He chose Hibs.[/QUOTE

I like how his interveiw is dignified. Hibs class!

Had he chosen Hearts the interview would be on the lines of "I've chose the Edinburgh's big club, the big team, Hearts have the best fans on the planet, I can't wait to play in front of the best stand in the universe and to hear the worlds famous Hearts atmosphere"

That was the first thing I though as well when I read that. That's the difference between hibs and hearts. When a players signs for hearts, their immediate go to tactic to sook up to the hearts fans is not to bum up how great hearts are but to get in digs at hibs - they know the tramps will drool far more and they'll gain immediate cult hero status over that.

Lafferty's interview after signing was cringeworthy. All this about how he bumped a meeting with Lennon, hearts was the clear choice etc etc. Absolute arse sooking if ever I've seen it. Classless and pathetic but that's what the tramps want to hear - the more you hate hibs the more you adhere yourself to the hearts support. sad.
