Hearts Land Rogers Mato on Loan as McInnes Confirms Celtic Apology

Derek McInnes narrows the focus to Dundee United following a likely quiet end to the window.

Overview

  • Uganda forward Rogers Mato, 22, joins on loan from Vardar until the end of the season, subject to international clearance, and has been named in the squad.
  • McInnes says further January additions are unlikely, noting the club has pursued options but found late-window deals difficult.
  • Celtic assistant Mark Fotheringham phoned McInnes to apologise for his behaviour during the Tynecastle touchline flashpoint, with both parties moving on.
  • Hearts visit Dundee United on Saturday with the chance to extend their Premiership lead before Rangers and Celtic play on Sunday.
  • Top scorer Lawrence Shankland remains out with a hamstring injury expected to keep him sidelined until around March.
