Hearts have captured their fifth signing of the day with the signature of Rais M'Bolhi.

M'Bolhi has agreed a short-term deal of six months, with a view to extending. The goalkeeper had been released by former club Marseille and topped the Gorgie managers wishlist.

Hearts have become the most active Scottish side in the transfer window and the fans must hope that this is a sign that they are attempting to keep up the fight for the SPL title.
