The Edinburgh-based collective known as Heart of Midlothian has been kicking about since 1874, staking their claim on the hallowed pitches of Tynecastle Park. Over the lengthy expanse of their existence, they’ve pieced together a squad of decent ability, their combined market value hovering roundabout the £15m mark, according to the data gurus over at Transfermarkt.
The Hearts, as they’re often affectionately referred to, boast a motley crew of 34 players. Striking an impressive balance between experience and fresh talent, the average age of the squad, if you’re particularly curious, is 26.
For the present season, Heart of Midlothian have spread their energies across five separate sporting feats. The top-tier Premiership sees them in a respectable 7th place position, middling yet warming. Their performance in the League Cup was unfortunately cut short in the second round. And let's not forget their journey to the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup, a competition steeped in historic rivalry pre 2013, and still remembered fondly. Meanwhile, they have made a notable effort for international recognition, reaching the Europa League Qualifiers play-offs and participating in the burgeoning Conference League during its league phase.
