GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 FORMER Rangers owner Sir David Murray has ruled out a bid to buy Hearts.Murray sold the Gers to Craig Whyte earlier this year and had been linked with a move to take over Vladimir Romanov’s majority shareholding at Tynecastle.He has been approached by Hearts-minded people with a view to offering advice about a potential bid for the debt-ridden club, who have been put on the market by Romanov with a £50million price tag.The Jambos have hit the headlines after a string of revelations into their financial state.But Murray insists he has no intention of rescuing the Gorgie club.He said: “Some people have put two and two together and come up with five.“I’ve had talks with individuals who approached me about the Hearts situation in general and regarding land I own in the Hermiston area of Edinburgh.“It’s a 650-acre site where a sports stadium and other ventures could be built if planning approval was granted by the authorities.“But I am categorically not involved in any takeover bid now and nor would I be interested at any time in the future.“I had 23 years at Ibrox, during which time we won 15 titles and 26 trophies and have no desire to own another club.
