Another trialist at Murray Park

It has been confirmed that former
Hearts midfielder Jason Holt, currently on loan at League one side Sheffield
United, has arrived at Murray
Park with a viewing to
winning a contract.

The central midfielder, 22, would
provide badly-needed quality in the middle of the park, with doubts about
whether John Eustace will sign and a general lack of concrete action taking
place regarding new additions to that area of the team.

Hearts would be due a development
fee, or ‘compensation’ as it is otherwise known, for Holt’s services, but
manager Robbie Nielson is on record as saying Holt is welcome to join Rangers
but not for free.

He has been linked with Rangers for some time, but this is the first time the ball has truly rolled regarding bringing him to Ibrox.

Holt’s career has been fair to
middling, but he has managed several Scottish youth caps, making seven
appearances for the national U21s.

He joins Eustace, Reece Wabara, Andy
Halliday and Jordan Thompson as current players at Murray Park
endeavouring to win deals with Mark Warburton’s outfit.
