Hearts secure defender Danny Wilson on loan deal
Last updated on .From the section Football

Hearts have agreed to sign the former Rangers defender Danny Wilson on loan from Liverpool until May, pending international clearance.
The Scotland defender, 21, has been on loan at Bristol City recently but played only one match due to injury.
He is boss John McGlynn's first squad addition since the Scottish Premier League relaxed Hearts' signing ban.
"Danny is a quality player and someone we know a lot about," McGlynn told the Hearts website.
"Even at such a young age, he brings a lot of experience and not only will he be a very good addition to our squad, he will be a good influence on the young players we have here.
"He has been playing regularly down south so fitness won't be a problem, and hopefully it won't be long before we see him in a Hearts shirt."
Wilson is eligible for the under-21s and therefore fits the criteria set out by the SPL that allows Hearts to sign players.
The Tynecastle club had been placed under a signing ban last year due to late payment of wages and it was extended over a "remuneration default".
The default related to bonus and appearance monies but the SPL is now satisfied payments are in order.
However, the club can only sign under-21 players until the end of the season and they will be restricted to a one-out, one-in policy.
Ryan McGowan's departure to China allows Wilson to come to Edinburgh, but McGlynn can bring in another player after goalkeeper Peter Enckelman left at the end of his short-term deal.
If clearance comes through on time, left-footed Wilson will go straight into the squad for Saturday's match against Celtic.
He has been capped five times and made his international debut against the Faroe Islands in November 2010, a match in which he scored.
Wilson came through the Rangers youth set-up and played 26 games for the Ibrox side before Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson signed him for £2m in July 2010.
However, he has struggled to break into the first team at Anfield since and his loan to Hearts follows similar spells at Blackpool and Bristol City.

Have no sympathy for you, shud have stayed at the teddy bears sunshine!!!!

Yeah you could have been playing at the dizzy heights of the Scottish Third Division - he must be raging.
I think some of you are in the wrong place.
Good evening to the trolls. I hope you have had a pleasant day.
I seem to be one of the few people judging Wilson on actually seeing him play - he gave away goals at every opportunity
David_beckham have seen how bad liverpool have played in some games this season? If you cant break into that defence might as will have up.....this a player who the scottish press and rangers fans were touting as one of the greatest young players to ever pull on a pair of boots too!!!
He looks a good player but he is never going to be chosen ahead of Agger. Agger gets picked because he is experienced, Wilson is inexperienced because he doesn't get picked - Catch 22.
Also what kind of half baked transfer embargo do Hearts have?, this mess is the SFAs payment for a yes vote on reconstruction, the Biased and Corrupt Regan and Doncaster out.
His hype when playing in the SPL reminded me of that surrounding Fleck - only difference is that no one was daft enough to buy Fleck!
Yet, when you look at Scottish football attendances as a whole. As a per capita ratio, Scotland not only beats England, but the rest of Europe too.
Hope Danny lives up to his potential, Good player but just seems to lack something that'll make him a great centre half
I think he's gone to get some game time, not because of the fan base to population ratio being better in Scotland!
