🎉 DOUBLE JOY FOR McENTEE — New Baby And Birthday Celebration!
EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND — There is plenty to celebrate at Heart of Midlothian today. Star defender Oisin McEntee, whose outstanding performances were the driving force behind Hearts’ surprise Scottish Premiership title challenge last season, has shared wonderful news with the supporters: he has welcomed his first child into the world — and on the very same day, his long-time girlfriend is celebrating her birthday.
A Truly Memorable Day
McEntee took to social media this morning to share the heartwarming announcement:
“Today will live in my heart forever. Our beautiful baby arrived safe and healthy this morning — and today is also my amazing partner’s birthday. Two incredible blessings on one special day. My heart is bursting with happiness. ❤️”
Messages of congratulations have flooded in from across the Hearts fanbase and beyond, with supporters describing the news as “absolutely wonderful.” Club officials also extended their warmest wishes:
“Everyone at the club is absolutely delighted for Oisin and his family. He gave so much to us last season — now he has something truly special to cherish off the pitch. Happy birthday to his partner, and welcome to the new arrival!”
The Rock At The Back
McEntee was the standout performer of the 2025–26 campaign, marshalling the defence with authority, composure, and leadership that belied his years. His consistency and pivotal contributions propelled Hearts remarkably close to a historic league title, falling just short in a thrilling race that went down to the final day. He quickly established himself as one of the most admired defenders in the league, earning widespread respect across Scottish football.
Family First
The club confirmed that McEntee has been granted a few days’ compassionate leave to be with his growing family, and is expected to rejoin the squad early next week. The message from Tynecastle is clear — family always comes first.
Congratulations, Oisin — and happy birthday to your partner! Enjoy every precious moment. We’re all cheering for you. ❤️⚽🏰👶🎂
