Ex-Hearts star Ryan Stevenson on THAT Sportscene coat and plans to keep on playing

Ryan Stevenson admits fans may not have seen the last of THAT full-length white coat he donned during last month's coverage of his former club Hearts and their 1-1 draw with Queen of the South.

The ex-Jambos star, who this week joined Albion Rovers until the end of the season, caused a bit of a stir on social media with his attire as a pundit at Palmerston for the BBC's live Friday night Championship show.

Stevenson is back in the SPFL after linking up with old Ayr United gaffer Brian Reid at Rovers.

And as he joined his new team-mates for a training session at Cliftonhill yesterday, the 36-year-old joked he had no regrets about sporting the unique cosy coat and said turning out in League Two this term won't be his swan song.

Speaking exclusively to Lanarkshire Live Sport, Stevenson, who had been playing with Troon in the West of Scotland League, said: "I'm going to try and keep playing [beyond this season].

"I took a break of two or three years at 31, 32, so I want to keep playing as long as I can.

"I want to keep doing the punditry side of things and I'll continue to do that, as well as playing."

On his surprise choice of coat at Palmerston, he added: "It's still in my boot.

"The way the weather is now, I might break it out again in the near future."
