Robbie Neilson admits he can’t see Hearts being able to bring Ellis Simms back on loan.
The Everton striker impressed after arriving at Tynecastle from Goodison Park last January, netting seven goals in 21 appearances for the Jambos, including a Scottish Cup semi-final rocket against rivals Hibs.
Simms penned a new deal on Merseyside shortly before moving to the capital and his wages meant a permanent deal was always out of the question.
