Hearts to loan Rangers?

Last updated : 30 July 2009 By Derrick O'neill

Hearts are said to be enquiring of the likelihood of signing either Stevie Naismith or Andrius Velicka on loan from Rangers.

The Tynecastle side are currently experiening a striker shortage with Callum Elliot out for a least five months and Christian Nade struggling to make the start of the season.

Hearts gaffer Csaba Laszlo has made signing a hitman his number one priority and has been linked with what seems like dozens of forwards.

Velicka would be the ideal candidate with the Lithuanian having spent a successful period at Hearts where he scored 19 goals in 47 appearances.

Naismith has battled back from a cruiciate ligament Injury and will be looking to force his way back into contention at Rangers, but he is sorely lacking match fitness.

Walter Smith would be keen on both of the players getting regular match experience but he is said to be reluctant to sideline Kenny Miller, Kris Boyd and Kyle Lafferty in the process.

Which one should Hearts go for?! Both of them!!!
