Goalkeeper Stewart is dealt in at Tynecastle

Hearts have handed goalkeeper Ross Stewart a two-year contract but there will be no deal for right-back Shay Logan.

Stewart spent the season on loan at Tynecastle from Livingston and will sign permanently when his Lions deal expires next month.

The 26-year-old has made four appearances as understudy to Craig Gordon.

Manager Robbie Neilson said: “I’m delighted to get Ross on board permanently. He’s made a big impact in the dressing room since he came in and I know he’s a popular figure.

“Most importantly he’s a good goalkeeper who has improved every week thanks to working with Paul Gallacher and Craig Gordon.”

Logan played the final five games of Hearts’ Championship campaign but will not be making his loan move permanent.

The 33-year-old’s Aberdeen contract is set to expire but he must look elsewhere for a new club.

The Dundee United Supporters Foundation (DUSF) has hailed fans after handing over the final instalment of its latest £100,000 funding package to the Tannadice club.

The £17,500 payment was made yesterday – rounding up the DUSF’S total financial contribution to United to £200,000 since June 2020.

Those funds, collected from the Foundation membership, have been used to assist the club with its recovery from the financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a statement the DUSF offered thanks to its 1,800-plus members, whose backing has enabled them to provide monetary assistance at a time of need at Tannadice – and to take an important step towards building a lasting, “bricks and mortar” legacy.

The fans group said: “In a recent period where the very soul of football has been under threat from corporate owners in England, Spain and Italy, this financial support that members have given to their club in a time of crisis for themselves is truly remarkable and quite humbling.

“It clearly demonstrates the passion and loyalty we all have for our beloved football club.

“Our thanks to each and every one of our members, and we hope the Foundation can continue to grow in numbers and influence as we look towards ensuring a bright future for Dundee United FC.

“This is the second tranche of £100,000 that DUSF has provided to the club in recent months.

“The next phase of our partnership will be to work with the club and our members to identify enduring, sustainable projects that we would put to a future member vote for DUSF financial support.”

In its own statement, United commented: “Our sincere thanks goes out to the Dundee United Supporters’ Foundation members from everyone at the club for raising such a magnificent total in just four months.”

Tangerines chairman Mark Ogren added: “I want to add my personal thanks to the Foundation and its members.

“The contribution of £100,000 will assist us to recover from this current situation and will help us to come out of the pandemic stronger and look forward to welcoming fans back into Tannadice next season.”
