Heart of Midlothian Football Club, commonly known as Hearts, is a notable name in Scottish football history. Founded in 1874, the club is more than a century old and true to its tradition, it continues to play its home matches at the much-acclaimed Tynecastle Park in Scotland.
The Hearts squad is esteemed by those in the know. Reflecting this, Transfermarkt puts the total market value of the Hearts playing squad at around £16m. Not too shabby for a club without the deep pockets of the omnipresent 'Old Firm'.
The side is a blend of youthful vigour and experienced determination, with its 32 players averaging 27 years of age. This balance of exuberance and experience seems to be paying rich dividends on the field.
As the fixtures fly by, Hearts find themselves in the thick of things in two key competitions. Rubbing shoulders with Scottish football's elite, they're sitting pretty in 1st place in the Premiership. Moreover, they've reached the second round of the League Cup. Trying times indeed, but it's crystal clear that Hearts are giving a good account of themselves.
