14 of the best Hearts loan signings since 2000

A look back at the Tynecastle club’s best hits in the loan market

Hearts have had a curious relationship with the loan market, well specifically during one era. Under Vladimir Romanov the club brought in a whole host of players on ‘temporary’ deals from Lithuanian side FBK Kaunas.

Not only did it see a raft of Lithuanians arrive over the course of a few years, but others were signed to Kaunas then sent to Tynecastle without ever playing for their ‘parent club’. In addition, it has been a useful market for the club to supplement the squad and bring in players from the Premier League in England.
