This is simply untrue - Cochrane responded to media questions about DeRo being out on trial. He said "no".

When it became evident he was in Scotland, he said there were talks about a loan/trial. He also remained true to the first question in that there was no permission given to the player trial.

Two different questions. There is no about face here.
