00:00Since we last recorded, they crashed out of the Premier Sports Cup, rather disappointingly, against St Mirren on penalties.
00:08A shootout defeat, Claudio Braga having his spot kick saved in the shootout.
00:14Off the field, there's been a bit of transfer movement, should we say, well, not so much transfer movement, but business being carried out.
00:24Young goalkeeper Liam McFarlane is currently out on loan and is regarded as Hart's future number one going forward.
00:32He's signed a new contract, Ben, that's a really shrewd piece of business by the sounds of it.
00:39Because if you speak to the vast majority of Hart supporters, they've got really high hopes for young Liam McFarlane.
00:46Yeah, he is one that's highly rated, played really well against Rangers.
00:50With Aloha in the Premier Sports Cup, I can't imagine.
00:56Maybe there's some clubs looking at Hart's wonder about whether to do loan deals with him.
00:59Seeing as that's Adam Forrester returned after less than a week, and now Liam McFarlane's returned after a couple of weeks into the season.
01:04But it is just circumstances. It's unfortunate.
01:08Ryan Fulton's picked up a longer, a mediumly long-term injury.
01:12Craig Gordon's still rehabbing, and they already have Harry Stone on the books.
01:17So it doesn't make too much sense just to go with one.
01:21I would imagine, Liam, the plan would be, I don't know this firsthand, but I can imagine the plan would maybe be for Liam McFarlane to come back,
01:29get a couple of weeks within the senior environment, and then whether Aloha still have that slot open for him to come in there on loan again
01:36before the end of the loan window for the SPFL lower league clubs, which is a bit longer than it is for Premiership clubs,
01:44or whether they can find another loan for him somewhere in League One, or potentially even the Championship.
01:51I think they would look to do that.
01:53Because, yeah, he does look promising.
01:56And Xander Clark's performance is maybe coming under a wee bit of criticism in the early part of the season.
02:04But it's an interesting one at heart because they are trying to get a goalkeeper.
02:09And you can see why they're wanting a goalkeeper now.
02:11But there's a potential situation by the time you get to January where you have,
02:16and some of them might be out of loan, but you're going to have Craig Gordon, Xander Clark, Ryan Fulton,
02:21potentially a new goalkeeper, Liam McFarlane and Harry Stone.
02:25And that is a lot of goalkeepers.
02:29And you can only have two in a matchday squad realistically.
02:33So I think I can understand it now, but I think this will be a position in the Hartford team
02:40over the course of the season that we'll be talking about just because of the sheer amount of options
02:45there potentially could be at one point in the season, albeit they're not there now.
02:55So I think this will be a position in the Hartford team, but I think this will be a position in the Hartford team.
02:59So I think this will be a position in the Hartford team, but I think this will be a position in the Hartford team.
03:01So I think this will be a position in the Hartford team.
03:03So I think this will be a position in the Hartford team.
03:05So I think this will be a position in the Hartford team.
03:07So I think this will be a position in the Hartford team.
03:09So I think this will be a position in the Hartford team.
03:11So I think this will be a position in the Hartford team.
03:13So I think this will be a position in the Hartford team.
