According to todays Scotsman, the out-of-contract Celtic midfielder Paul Hartley is moving south. The report said: HEARTS look to have lost out to Bristol City in the race to sign former Celtic midfielder Paul Hartley.
The 32-year-old Scotland international, available on a free transfer after seeing out his contract at Parkhead, spent four years at Tynecastle before moving to Celtic, but a return to Edinburgh now appears off.
Greek side Iraklis Saloniki had also made an offer for Hartley, but the player is due to head to Bristol early next week for a medical ahead of moving to the Championship club, for whom he is expected to sign a two-year deal.
Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo does however hope to have new players on board the squad’s flight to Germany on Monday.
Will Hartley be a force in the Championship?
