Matthew Gillies and Dom Plank have joined Stranraer on loan until January.
The duo have been regulars for Angus Beith’s Hearts B Team this season and now make the step up to the SPFL joining Chris Aitken’s Blues on a short-term loan.
Gillies enjoyed a successful season for the B Team last campaign featuring in 29 of the 34 league matches, with wide man Plank featuring in 30 league matches last season.
With valuable Lowland League experience under their belt, the pair now make the move to Stair Park and could be in line for a debut at home to Elgin this Saturday.
Speaking to the Official Hearts Website about the news, B Team head coach Angus Beith said:
"I'm delighted for both of them. It's the next step for them having played a lot of games for the B Team over the last couple of seasons.
"Stranraer were keen on both players. It wasn't a case of the club trying to find them a loan, Stranraer came to us and asked for Matty and Dom specifically, which shows that they've watched them, they want them and they feel they can improve their team.
"Hopefully our two lads can go in there and give them a lift. Firstly, get the experienced players and coaches onside and earn their trust, which is an important part when you go on loan and then impact the team in a positive way. So, we're really looking forward to seeing how they perform outwith their own environment."
