The Heart of Midlothian Football Club has been lacing boots and chasing the ball since 1874. Their home games serve as a call to arms on the pitch of Tynecastle Park in the breathtaking landscape of Scotland. A well-trodden path with a long history in the beautiful game.
The worth of the Heart of Midlothian squad, you ask? Weighed in pounds, they are nearly as valuable as the precious collective memory they represent to their supporters. At around £15m, according to the good folks over at Transfermarkt, these lads are no lightweight.
Indeed, the Heart of Midlothian camp is teeming with a band of 29 brethren, their average age a spry 27, ready and able to bring their youth and vigour to the field. They represent a veritable collective, a band of brothers brought together by the love of the sport they play.
This season, Hearts, as they are affectionately known, have been battling it out in two competitions. The thrill of the Premiership league and the chase of the League Cup in Group E. A tale that continues to unfold, one match at a time. Let's see where the ball rolls, shall we?
