Hearts youngster Scott McGill is keen to extend his stay at Stark’s Park after impressing on loan.

The 21-year-old is out of contract in the summer and netted his second goal for Raith Rovers in Friday night’s 2-2 draw with Partick Thistle.

McGill started the season on loan at Kelty Hearts but returned to his parent club in January after not playing as much as he’d have liked.

Manager Ian Murray – who worked with the midfielder at Airdrie – brought him to Raith in January and McGill had to bide his time before impressing as a utility man towards the end of the season.

Now that he has had a taste, he is desperate to stay if given the opportunity.

Enjoying it

“It’s been great since I came here, the gaffer gave me a chance,” said McGill. “I’ve played multiple positions. I’ve finally been given a chance to play, it’s been good.

“I’d like to think I’ve shown them what I can do. I’ve worked my socks off every day and given 100%.

“I’ve not heard much [about my future], but if I get offered anything I’d 100% sign. I love the gaffer, the boys are good and I really enjoy it here.

“I worked under the manager at Airdrie last season and really enjoyed it.

“If the gaffer offers me anything, I’d be delighted to sign here.”

McGill’s versatility was on show again on Friday night, the final match day of the Scottish Championship season.

He started on the right and, at 1-1, moved into a more comfortable position in the No 10 role at half-time.

From there he shot just wide soon before putting Rovers ahead.

“Kieran [Ngwenya] cut it back and I’ve just hit it and hoped for the best!” added McGill.

Of the contracted players at Stark’s Park, who is staying and who is leaving should become clearer in the coming days.

Murray revealed after Friday night’s game that some players have been informed whether or not they have a future at the club.
