The Heart of Midlothian boasts a diverse squad, valued collectively at approximately £16m, according to the latest stats on Transfermarkt. With a healthy blend of youthful prospects and seasoned campaigners, the 31-player strong squad mirrors our beautiful game's ongoing evolution, culminating in an average age of 27.
The maroon-clad Hearts are flexing their muscles in two distinct competitions this season. In the Premiership, they have outpaced the competition, sitting comfortably in 1st place. Meanwhile, they are battling it out in the early stages of the League Cup, having reached the Second Round. While Tynecastle echoes with the roars of success, one can't help but recall the Heart of Midlothian's rigorous endeavours in seasons prior to 2013.
