  1. Valakari unfazed by Forrester's return to Heartspublished at 13:45 15 August

    Simo Valakari has no issues with Hearts loanee Adam Forrester making a quick return to Tynecastle, with the St Johnstone manager saying "we all knew" how the cooperation agreements would work.

    Under the new Scottish FA initiative, Premiership teams are able to send under-21 players to clubs lower in the pyramid over and above the current loan system.

    Last week Hearts entered into a player partnership with St Johnstone and right-back Adam Forrester moved to Perth on a season-long loan.

    However, such is the fluidity of the cooperation system, he has now returned to Tynecastle because of an injury to right-back Christian Borchgrevink.

    Valakari said: "Nothing has changed. I would like to have him very much here, but we all knew it.

    "Hearts have the power. Adam as a player, he knew what that type of agreement is.

    "If something happens they can call him back. They did call him back so he is now there. Now he is there I am not going to waste any more of my focus on this and this.

    "For me we knew it when we signed the agreement that can happen, it happened.

    "Yes he can [come back to St Johnstone in the future] but I can't control what Hearts are doing, so we are focused on what we have here."

    Forrester will join Simo Valakari's squad for the remainder of the season

    Hearts have entered into a cooperation agreement with Championship side St Johnstone, the club's second under the new Scottish FA initiative.

    Right-back Adam Forrester, 20, will join Simo Valakari's squad, who are targeting an immediate return to the Scottish Premiership, on loan for the remainder of the season.

    Under player partnership agreements, which came into effect this summer and aim to aid the development of emerging Scottish talent, up to three young players can move more freely between the parent and lower-league club.

    Premiership clubs can partner with one team in each of the three SPFL tiers below the top flight.

    Derek McInnes' side last month entered into a cooperation agreement with League Two Spartans.

    McInnes said Hearts are "very pleased" to partner with the Perth Saints and hopes Forrester receives game-time, which is "crucial for him to keep developing and improving".

    Midfielder Reece McAlear has left Livingston to join Championship side St Johnstone for an undisclosed fee.

    The 23-year-old made 37 appearances for Livingston and scored four goals in their Championship promotion campaign after moving from Tranmere Rovers last summer.

    McAlear, who has penned a two-year deal, becomes St Johnstone's second signing of the day after former Hibs midfielder Stephen Mallan.

    "I'm a player who likes to get on the ball and dominate the ball. I know the league very well and hopefully that can benefit the team," said McAlear.

    "It's a chance for me to play more football and I really am excited to get going."
