Jamie Walker opens up on Rangers transfer heartache after Hearts scrutiny 'hell' over failed move

Jamie Walker has opened up on his Hearts to Rangers transfer hell after admitting that his failed Ibrox move back in 2017 caused his head to 'go all over the place' after scrutiny from fans and pundits across the nation.

Walker, who burst onto the scene at Hearts after making his debut aged just 19, became a mainstay in the team from the get go. Six full seasons in Gorgie saw Walker make over 160 appearances for the club, registering 38 goals in all competitions from the wings as he became a hot property in Scotland with another 18 youth appearances for the national team.

A particularly strong season in 2016/17 saw him linked with Rangers, who had forged their way back into the upper echelons of the Scottish Premiership once again in a bid for silverware. But the two clubs could not agree on a valuation and Walker remained at Hearts before moving to League One outfit Wigan just six months later. His failed move to Rangers saw him go through 'mentally tough' periods amid the 'messy' situation.
