Hamilton Accies boss John Rankin says it’s unlikely that Hearts star Connor Smith will make a return to the club this season, and he won’t rely on loan moves to bolster his squad.
Rankin reckons winger Smith will play a role at the Tynecastle club in the Premiership this season, which will ultimately take him out of Hamilton’s price bracket.
But he says having players at the club who are recognisably Hamilton players is going to be important as they bid to bounce back to the Championship.
