Andy Irving: Ex-Hearts star set for summer move after German side withdraw from league

Former Hearts ace Andy Irving will likely be on the lookout for a new club this summer after his German side withdrew from the third tier.

Türkgücü München have filed for insolvency back in January which led to an 11-point deduction leaving the team propping up the 3.Liga table
