Jefferies cools Diamond talk

Jim Jefferies has played down suggestions Hearts are set to make an imminent move for Aberdeen defender Zander Diamond, whose contract expires at the end of the season.

Aberdeen boss Craig Brown said on Wednesday evening that Jefferies had called him to express an interest in Diamond.

Jefferies said: "We've had no talks with Zander Diamond. "I saw in some papers that we had already signed him or had discussions with him and that wasn't true.

"I told him (Brown) the agent had been in touch with me to indicate that he was out of contract.

"I said I hadn't made up my mind if I was interested or not. He'll tell you that."
