Sergio: Rangers dragging down Templeton
FORMER Hearts boss Paolo Sergio has compared David Templeton to “a top pianist in a bad orchestra”.
Sergio worked with Templeton during his time at Tynecastle, and believes the winger has been stunted by Rangers’ spell in the lower leagues.
Sergio said: “At this time I don’t believe it’s best for David. You could argue he should stand out more because he’s up against players with less ability than him, but the way I see it is if you are a top pianist playing in a bad orchestra then the music won’t be as good.” (Record)

Hearts make room for new signing
THE playing registration of Hearts’ goalkeeping coach Alan Combe is set to be cancelled by the club, in order to allow Gary Locke to bring in a new outfield player.
The switch is intended to count as an ‘out’ in the SPFL’s ‘one in, one out’ policy, potentially allowing Hearts to register an incoming player.
The Tynecastle side’s transfer embargo still stands, so any signing would have to be under 21 years old and out of contract with their current club. (Herald)
