Ethan Drysdale is poised to join Partick Thistle on loan for the rest of the season, as Hearts consider a Championship loan spell advantageous for the 19-year-old. This loan arrangement is included in the deal that saw Hearts' five-figure bid for Partick Thistle's left-back, Harry Milne, accepted. Milne is currently undergoing a medical examination at Hearts as part of the transfer agreement. Having just returned to play following a pre-season injury against Leyton Orient, Drysdale is regarded by Hearts as a promising talent, and the club anticipates that this loan period will support his development.
