Andy Halliday has named Barrie McKay as the Hearts teammate he would play every week - insisting that the Scot is a 'match winner' when he turns on the style.
McKay has typically struggled for consistency throughout his career, but there is no doubting his ability to switch a game in a heartbeat. Take the Scottish Cup semi-final in 2016 for example; his long-range strike put Rangers 2-1 up against Celtic despite being a division below their bitter rivals.
Since then, he has moved on to Nottingham Forest, Swansea and Fleetwood but struggle to properly nail down a starting spot south of the border. A return to Hearts came to fruition - and that is where McKay has begun to make a name for himself. Becoming a star performer this season as they become the acknowledged 'third-force' of Scottish football, McKay has rightly earned the plaudits of pundits and fans alike with four goals and four assists in the Scottish Premiership so far this term.
