We can confirm the signings of current Scotland Under 19s international Matthew Gillies and former Wolverhampton Wanderers youngster Dom Plank, both joining on loan from Premiership side Heart of Midlothian.
Already well known to Blues coach Martin Fellowes from the national setup, Matthew Gillies made his debut for Scotland’s youngsters in their recent international friendly against Kazakhstan.
A centre back by trade but capable of playing at full back or midfield, Matthew has been with Hearts since 2016 and has represented his country at Under 16, Under 17 and Under 19 level.
After scoring a double for Dorking Wanderers on his professional debut at the age of just 15 , Dom Plank spent two years with Wolves Under 18s, before moving to Tynecastle last summer.
The winger scored 8 goals in 30 Lowland League appearances for Hearts ‘B’ last season.
Having amassed considerable Lowland League experience, Matthew and Dom have also racked up minutes in the KDM Evolution Trophy this season, developing under the guidance of former Blues midfielder Angus Beith.
Both players are eligible for Saturday’s home meeting with Elgin City.
