For those who may not be acquainted, Heart of Midlothian - established in the year 1874 - call Tynecastle Park their home; a well-grounded establishment within the solids of Scottish soil.
As befits this type of conversation, it would be remiss to overlook the matter of value. The current assembly of players at Heart of Midlothian, 28 in all, possess a combined market value hovering around the £19m mark, a figure courtesy of Transfermarkt. Not a trifle sum by any margins, indeed.
The current average age amongst this assembly leans towards 27, suggesting a sensible blend of talent; ripe with experience yet still agile enough to dodge a stick in the mud.
As for competitions, this season has seen Heart of Midlothian tread the boards in three separate arenas. Premiership has them lauded in 1st position - an endeavour not to be sniffed at. Their endeavour in the League Cup only saw them as far as the Second Round - a decent crack, one might argue. The Scottish Cup found them landing solidly in the Fourth Round.
