Ex Hearts ace seals transfer to Scottish club as he's handed 'fresh opportunity'
The former star made a memorable Tynecastle debut and now signs with his latest Scottish club Sign up to our Hearts newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... A former Hearts player has completed a move to the Scottish Championship in his latest transfer. Clubs across the country are doing deals and the Jambos have been one of the most active. Signings like Claudio Braga have already hit the ground running in the club's Premier Sports Cup group stage campaign and more arrivals are set to be unveiled before the end of the window. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Former players are also on the move and one of them is Harry Cochrane. The midfielder came through the ranks at Hearts and after leaving Queen of the South at the end of last season, he has signed a one-year deal with Arbroath. Under co-manager David Gold and Colin Hamilton, the Gayfield side earned promotion to the second tier ahead of this campaign. Harry Cochrane signs for Arbroath A statement reads: 'Welcome Harry! Arbroath FC is delighted to announce the signing of Harry Cochrane on a one-year deal, subject to SFA approval. The 24-year-old central midfielder joins the club following his departure from Queen of the South, and will be part of the squad for the upcoming 2025/26 season. 'Cochrane began his senior career with Heart of Midlothian and has gone on to represent clubs including Dunfermline Athletic and Queen of the South, gaining regular experience in Premiership, Championship and League One. Welcome to Gayfield Harry!' The co managers of Arbroath said of the ex Jambo: 'Harry's a young player, but he's played a lot of games at high levels, and we feel that he can be a good fit for how we want to play. It's a fresh opportunity for him, and we're happy to have him in the door.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Harry Cochrane on time at Hearts Now 24, Cochrane is a product of the Hearts youth system. He is famed for scoring the opening goal in Hearts' 4–0 win over Celtic on 17 December 2017,[13] a result that ended Celtic's 69-game unbeaten run in domestic matches.[14] In doing so he became the club's youngest league goalscorer, having became the first SFA Performance School graduate to start a Scottish Premiership game when debuting vs Dundee earlier that campaign. In total he made 33 Hearts appearances before leaving for Queen of the South in 2021. Speaking in 2023 of adapting to life after Hearts in the lower leagues, Cochrane said: 'It is different, a bit more physical games than technical. I've been trying to improve that side of my game. Hopefully I can work my way back up because everybody wants to play at the top level. I just sort of see it as a stepping stone. 'You are playing on astroturf most weeks, and probably not the best astros. You are training on astro every day and there is that physical side. I'm not saying it wasn't physical at the top level with Hearts, but probably the lower down you go, the less time you get on the ball. Since I left Hearts, I think I've put on about seven kilograms. I don't know if that's just me growing, or if it's my eating or doing the gym a bit more. I feel I've put on a wee bit of muscle and you need that in football now. A lot of it is physical and I'm not the quickest, as you know, so I need to try and build my game up in other ways.'

Partick Thistle say trial to sell alcohol at Firhill 'went well'
The Maryhill side faced Stranraer in a League Cup game on Tuesday night, coming out on top with a 2-0 win in the group stages. The Jags were one of several clubs taking part in an initiative to sell alcoholic drinks outside hospitality areas in football stadiums for the first time in more than four decades, STV reports. A blanket ban was brought into force in 1981 following crowd trouble after a Scottish Cup final. It has been in place ever since. Now, seven Scottish clubs have been granted permission to sell beer, lager, and wine to those with general match tickets. READ NEXT: Glasgow football club fans to be allowed alcohol at games The initiative aims to show that relaxing the long-standing ban can 'enhance the fan experience'. Thistle say there were 'no issues' with behaviour and they are looking forward to next week's match against Queen of the South. A Partick Thistle spokesperson commented: 'It was great for the club to be involved in the trial. "Operationally, everything went well, and the fans who attended all enjoyed themselves. 'There were no issues with behaviour, and we believe that it added to the experience of what was a good night when you consider the result as well. 'We look forward to the second part of the trial when Queen of the South visit The Wyre Stadium at Firhill next Tuesday.' The news comes as Ayr United announced they have withdrawn their application to take part in the initiative. READ NEXT: Hit musical about Celtic FC is coming back to Glasgow The Championship club had been due to provide alcohol to a small number of match-going supporters at their upcoming games against Arbroath and Forfar. However, they have since stated they will no longer be participating in the initiative. A statement posted to Ayr United's X [formerly known as Twitter] page reads: 'We can advise supporters that it has withdrawn applications for temporary alcohol licenses for the matches against Arbroath and Forfar following further discussions with local stakeholders. 'The club would like to thank the South Ayrshire licensing board, LSO and Building Standards for their support throughout the process and can confirm it will seek to apply for future licences as part of the ongoing pilot process. 'Supporters who have bought tickets for the events will be contacted directly regarding next steps.'
