The Heart of Midlothian, mates lovingly know them as Hearts, first saw the light of day in 1874. They've made their home at Tynecastle Park, an old haunt based in bonny Scotland.

The lads that make up the squad of Hearts are a hearty lot indeed. According to the good folks at Transfermarkt, the blokes in maroon are worth a good £17m. Not chump change, I assure you.

The Jam Tarts, as they're fondly known, boast a team with 31 chaps, straddling the prime age of 27 on average. Experience, as they say, is the best teacher.

No one can accuse the Maroons of being idle this season. They've been battling on the pitch in three rigorous competitions. On their home turf, they've managed to wrangle the top spot in the Premiership, while in the League Cup and Scottish Cup they’ve made it to the Second and Fourth Round, respectively.
