Hearts midfielder Macaulay Tait has joined Livingston on loan until the end of the season, with manager Neil Critchley saying the 19-year-old "needs to play regular men's football". Tait has featured just twice - both in the Conference League - for Hearts this term. "It's the right thing for Macaulay at this stage of his development and his career, " Critchley said of the loan move. "He needs to play regular men's football, something that we can't guarantee for him here right now. "He'll be going to a team that's doing very well, with an experienced manager that play good football and we think it'll suit Macaulay. " Copyright © 2025 BBC.
