Jake Hastie turned in another superb display this afternoon.
Motherwell beat Hearts 2-1 at Fir Park this afternoon, and winger Jake Hastie again stole the show for the hosts.
Hastie, 19, has been impressing in recent weeks, and he was at it again as he smashed Motherwell in front 13 minutes into the affair.
Steven Naismith hauled Hearts level before half time, but there was late drama as Motherwell secured all three points.
Ben Garuccio was sent off for Hearts in added time, and David Turnbull’s resulting free kick wasn’t dealt with by Colin Doyle, handing Motherwell the win.
Motherwell’s young stars Hastie and Turnbull starred even outside of their goals, and it’s winger Hastie who is really catching the eye.
The teenager had spent the first half of the season on loan with Alloa Athletic, but came back to Fir Park in January and hasn’t looked back.
Hastie now has five goals in six games for Motherwell, and the Daily Record recently reported that the likes of Leeds, Norwich City and Swansea City are interested in signing him.
After watching him shine again on Sunday, Celtic fans took to Twitter to call on the Bhoys to sign Hastie this summer, feeling he is a major talent for the future.
Rangers fans also want Hastie signed when his contract expires this summer, believing that he is already better than Daniel Candeias – but whether either of the Old Firm sides make a move remains to be seen.
