Hearts' Andy Halliday expected 'one or two more signings' as he hails Barrie McKay

Andy Halliday admits the Hearts squad expected one or two more players in the door on transfer deadline day - but wouldn't be surprised if more recruits arrive.

Robbie Neilson admitted himself he was desperate to boost his Tynecastle ranks following the loss of Liam Boyce to a long-term injury and summer recruit Kye Rowles in the same match against St Johnstone. The double blow on top of domestic and European football to juggle left the capital men a little short but they were only able to bring in striker Stephen Humphrys on loan from Wigan on deadline day.

After hearing the comments from the Jambos boss, Halliday and Co expected more arrivals to come in the door. Zander Clark has since arrived on a free to boost the goalkeeping department and he believes the free agent market is one they could take advantage of in the near future to give the squad a real boost.
