Late Craig Halkett strike gives Hearts win over Hibs in ...
The centre-back scored the only goal of the game to take bragging rights at Tynecastle.
news.stv.tvHere’s the latest on Craig Halkett based on recent reporting I can share.
- The most detailed update appears to be from September 2025, noting Halkett was back in good form for Hearts after a string of injury problems, starting the majority of matches under manager Derek McInnes and aiming to be a regular fixture for the team [source: STV article on Halkett’s return to fitness]. This suggests he had rebounded well and was contributing steadily for Hearts that season.[1]
- Hearts announced Halkett signed a contract extension back in January 2024, tying him to Tynecastle Park until the summer of 2026, highlighting club confidence in his fitness and contribution after prior injuries. This contract status would have kept him at the club through the 2025–26 period, barring any new developments.[2]
- For broader context, Halkett’s career at Hearts began in 2019, with a notable surge in form around 2021–22 that earned a Scotland call-up before injuries interrupted progress, and he has accumulated over 100 appearances for the club by 2024. This background helps frame the significance of his injury comeback and continued role at Hearts.[3]
