Looks like a good bit of business for the yams.

Indication either Berra is finished or Souttars away.

He would have been a brilliant signing mind you, perhaps our HC wants to go down a different route now or hadn’t made up his mind unlit him quick enough.

Been sensational for Livingston this season - contributing with goals in addition to being absolutely solid at the back.

I actually thought Rangers might have tried to lure him back to Ibrox, or that someone from down south might have made a move for him.

Pretty disappointed if he'll end up at the PBS.

Excellent signing on paper. Big step up in pressure from Livi to Hearts though.

Bit of a step down in quality for the lad but decent hoof ball merchant for them.

Berra is awful. Well finished and living off past heroics :agree:

In saying that, can't say i'd be too excited about signing a Livingston FC player though!

Aye good business for them unfortunately. My Hearts pals seem to reckon Souttar will be off in the summer so probably just a direct replacement for him.

Clears the ball well and kicks it the way he is facing so a direct replacement for Berra.

Dress it up anyway you want, but that is a good signing for Hearts, would have liked him at ER.

Did hibs make a move for him .the manager might have other players in mind

Sorry for being humorous I will be serious at all times from now on.
Heart of midlothian have made an excellent signing, well done them.

Not sure we need a right centre back, Porteous will be back, and he’s miles better him

McGregor is coming to the end of his career and we need cover for Hanlon. Halkett would have been a great acquisition.

He's only a good signing if it works out?
If he fits in with his hoof ball tactics, he will be a good signing for them!
They have signed a lot of players who don't seem to fit the way they play!
Only time will tell if he can step up to their standard!!!!

That's a good point.
Any left centre backs available that we should sign?

P.S. I think we might get another season out of Daz

I suspect he'll have been signed as first choice - after a rest and pre-season Hanlon and Porteous will be as good as any other pairing in the league outwith Celtic. We'll probably sign a couple of backups.

Not sure if it was Halkett, but i think it was, he got absolutely ripped apart by Rangers. He looked very average in that game. In fact, i think he tripped over the ball to allow the Rangers to score??

Not very familiar with the boy but if he's a direct replacement for Souttar I reckon he's very likely to improve them.

I would hope the manager will be raiding English clubs for some 6-4 cente backs from the lower leagues, another Rob Jones would do fine !

Should have a had a late penalty given against him last night after barging over the Partick player in the box. More of a penalty than the second one the yams got when their big guy up front who's renowned for using his body strength blew over in the box when a Partick defender got close to him.

Mon the Cabbage!!!

Have folk seen the Livi results of late? They had an unbelievable start to the season but recently have been gash. Not saying he's not a half decent player but I would hope we could get better

Just saw that on TV, how the hell they got away with that is astonishing, the Ref gave them 2 pens for **** all.

Word of warning to Hibernian players in the next derby....don't fart in their box or a 6"11" 17 stone player will fall down...:rolleyes:

Their first penalty was a stone waller to be fair, and apparently they could have had another.

But yes the second they got was soft and Partick had a clear claim late on. If only we had VAR to spend 10 minutes checking over all of these.

Livi have only conceded 30 goals and Hacket is a major factor in that .
Rumours that the real Huns are going to nip in and sign him as he is a boy hood Hun .
Keek back will be on meltdown if this happens.

He wasn't a livi youth product though. He was some lad, playing through a cruciate ligament injury because god healed it.:rolleyes:

He is an exSevco youngster that was released by them in 2016

Sounded a few days ago like the pre-contract with Hearts was a done deal. I wonder what the delay is.
