@braddfearnleyy said: “Very impressed with Callum Doyle on his debut. Reads the game well and is calm on the ball, bailed Flanagan out a few times which he’ll have to do a few more times over the season. Looks to be a great addition”

@woodylad83 added: “Hard to say after 65 mins of a friendly but my word that you young lad doyle from city looks some player. Never put a foot wrong tackles well reads the game fantastic and is composed on the ball”

@EddyGray19 commented: “Now we see why we sign a 17 year old centre half from Man City. Looks our best defender already”

@jimmmyreay tweeted: “Obv can’t read too much into it but first half especially that was great. Good footy and nicely taken goals. Onwards”

@elliot_d_p posted: “Might only be pre-season but impressed with what was on display, expecially considering Hearts season has started”

@Philip_RJ89 added: “That was a decent run-out. Lots of encouraging performances (Doyle, Dyce, Patterson) and the kind of quality we’ve come to expect from McGeady. Lynden Gooch looked sharp, too. Plenty to be positive about, I’d say!”
