Hearts operate with a total squad value floating around £16 million region, a figure fittingly endorsed by Transfermarkt.

The side boasts a well-seasoned squad of 31 players, with the average age hovering around the 27 mark. These statuesque athletes, most in the prime of their careers, power the Hearts' footballing engine week in, week out.

Throughout this season, Hearts have demonstrated their effectiveness on the competitive stage. They're more than mere participants, they're competitors. Currently, they're striving to impose their mark in 3 competitions. Notably, they sit atop the evocative heights of first place in the Premiership, a testament to their continued prowess. Meanwhile, their League Cup journey that saw them through to the Second Round, and their Scottish cup endeavour that propelled them into the Fourth Round, underscore their competitive edge.
