Here’s a round-up of the latest transfer news in the Scottish Premiership concerning Hearts and Hibs league rivals. Hearts finish the 2023/24 season with a home game against Rangers, hoping to go into the summer on a high.
Steven Naismith’s team drew 2-2 away to St Mirren last time out. Hibs, on the other hand, triumphed 3-0 against Motherwell at Easter Road, but are looking for a new manager after parting ways with Nick Montgomery.
Here’s some of the most recent news from the Scottish Premiership.
Midfielder update emerges
Hibs allowed Ewan Henderson to join KV Oostende on a temporary basis last summer, and the Belgian club has the option to sign him permanently.
The 24-year-old former Scotland youth international has now scored seven goals in 31 appearances across all competitions. However, his lending side has now revealed that they have been unable to secure a takeover and will close after 120 years. That means they won’t be able to sign Henderson, who will then return to his parent club.
Aberdeen man outlines stance on future
Junior Hoilett, a former Blackburn Rovers and QPR player, says he is enjoying his time in Aberdeen. The Canadian international signed a short-term agreement with the Dons in February under former manager Neil Warnock, and he has already scored two goals in 14 games.
His contract ends at the end of next month, and he is set to become a free agent as things are. He has issued an update on his situation: “I am enjoying myself here.
“We’ll see what happens during the summer. I have not had any discussions about my future yet. Peter (Leven, interim boss) has been supportive since the beginning. “I’ve liked my time here, and the fans, players, and everyone at the club have been extremely supportive of me. We will play one more game and see what happens during the summer.”
Livingston latest
Livingston manager David Martindale says they require a more defined ownership structure. The Lions were demoted to the Championship.
He is scheduled for negotiations about whether he will remain in the second tier and must make a decision. The 49-year-old stated, “For Livingston Football Club to move forward, it need a clear ownership structure.
“At the moment, there is a clear ownership arrangement with Baycup, but that is being questioned in court. Whatever the outcome of the court challenge, I believe Livingston Football Club, regardless of individual shareholders, directors, or staff, requires a clear ownership model moving ahead.”
