EDINBURGH, Jan 31 (SW) - Still looking to chase down Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premier League table, Hearts today captured four deadline day signings but also learned striker Paul Hartley will be suspended for three games.

The Scottish FA disciplinary body determined Hartley kicked Celtic's Ross Wallace in a loss on New Year's Day. The incident went unpunished at the time by the referee, but television cameras caught the infraction on tape.

He will, therefore, miss the cup tie against Aberdeen and league fixtures against Motherwell and Livingston.

The big signing was the one everyone had anticipated as Bosnia-Herzegovina winger Mirsad Beslija finally signed for the club after a lot of technicalities had kept the player from doing so.

The deal to sign Beslija from Racing Genk is worth a club record £850,000 and manager Graham Rix also signed HJK Helsinki forward Juho Makela for three-and-a-half years. Makela was the second leading scorer in the Finnish league last season.

Rix also added defender José Goncalves and midfielder Bruno Aguiar on loan after both players signed deals with Lithuanian side Kaunas.
