The Edinburgh-based outfit, Heart of Midlothian, otherwise commonly referred to as Hearts, was established in 1874. Known for their passionate supporters, they hold their home games at the intimidating Tynecastle Park located in the historical lands of Scotland.
The club, although not a part of the 'Old Firm', has a team that can't be taken too lightly. According to Transfermarkt, the team's combined market value is estimated to be around ยฃ15 million - modest in comparison to the titans of European football, yet significant in a Scottish context.
As far as the team size goes, they're not doing bad either with a full deck of 34 players, averaging 26 years of age. Indeed, it's a healthy mix of experience and youth in the ranks.
In the current season, the lads from Tynecastle Park have been playing on several fronts. Let's not dabble into specific placements yet though. Various leagues and cups home and abroad have seen Hearts compete, from the ever-competitive Premiership to the League Cup. Furthermore, they've had a run in the prestigious Scottish Cup reaching the Semi-Finals and ventured into Europe, participating in the Europa League Qualifiers and making it till the Play-Offs. They're even having a crack at the Conference League in its League Phase - a season certainly packed with action.
