Heart of Midlothian F.C. (most commonly referred to as Hearts) is a professional football club from Edinburgh, Scotland which plays in the Scottish Premier League. It is one of the two principal clubs in the city, the other being rivals Hibernian. Lithuanian Russian businessman and banker Vladimir Romanov became the major shareholder of Hearts when he took over Chris Robinson's stake. The club's current head coach is Stephen Frail.

Hearts were founded in 1874 and are reputedly named after a popular local dance hall, which in turn took its name from the novel The Heart of Midlothian by Sir Walter Scott. The first Hearts Captain, Tom Purdie, stated that they may have played in 1873. They initially played at The Meadows, Powburn and Powderhall before moving to the Gorgie area in 1881. They moved to their current Tynecastle site in 1886.

The earliest mention of Heart of Midlothian in a sporting context is a report in the Scotsman newspaper from 20 July 1864 of the Scotsman vs Heart of Mid-Lothian at cricket. It is not known if this was the same club who went on to form the football club. ^[2]

Their badge is based on the Heart of Midlothian mosaic on the Royal Mile.

The world famous Hearts Song was written and performed by Scottish comedian Hector Nicol.

Hearts traditional local rivals in the city of Edinburgh are Hibernian F.C. Fans' loyalty to a particular side often was for sectarian reasons (Hibs were initially founded as a charity side to raise money for the city's Catholic Irish immigrants located around the Cowgate area of the city, whilst Hearts drew their support mainly from the Protestant population). It must be mentioned, that the sectarian divide was not as wide as that found in Glasgow between Rangers and Celtic football clubs (see also Old Firm); indeed, Hearts lobbied hard for the admission of Hibernians (as they were initially called) into the Scottish Football Association, who initially forbade member clubs to play them (Hearts played several "illegal" matches with Hibs until the SFA acquiesced).

The first "official" derby match was on Christmas Day 1875, when Hearts beat Hibernians 1–0. It wasn't until their five-game struggle for the EFA Cup in 1878, that the two clubs became the dominant ones in Edinburgh. Hearts won 3–2 after 0–0, 1–1, 1–1 and 1–1 draws. The clubs' most notable meeting occurred in the 1896 Scottish Cup Final, played on 14 March 1896, Hearts winning 3-1 at Logie Green in the only final played outside Glasgow.

For more details on this topic, see Edinburgh derby.

Hearts had considerable success in the early years of the Scottish Football League winning the league championship in 1894-5 and 1895-6. They also won four Scottish Cups in a 15 year period from 1891 to 1906.

The club then went from 1906 to 1954 without winning a major trophy before enjoying a decade of success between 1954 and 1963. During this period Hearts won the League twice, in 1957-58, with a record 62 points and 132 goals scored (Still the Scottish 'Top' League Record) and only 29 against in 34 matches, and in 1959-60. Hearts also won the Scottish Cup, in 1956, and the Scottish League Cup four times, in 1954-55, 1958-59, 1959-60 and 1962-63. This glorious period for the club contained many top, now legendary, names such as Alfie Conn, Sr., Willie Bauld, Jimmy Wardhaugh, John Cumming, Dave Mackay and Alex Young.

From the mid 1960s Hearts went into decline - like many Scottish clubs outside the Old Firm, they found themselves unable to compete with the wages English clubs offered top Scottish players - and with the advent of the ten team Premier Division in 1975 spent several seasons yo-yoing back and forth from the Premier League to the First Division & back again (a similar fate was in time to befall Hibs). However, the arrival of chairman Wallace Mercer - after the previous board finally resigned when Hearts failed to regain their Premier League status - led to a revival in the club's fortunes, with the team only failing to win the league in 1986 on goal difference on the last day of the season, and finishing runners up again in 1988.

The early 1990s were reasonably uneventful for Hearts, as they struggled to settle on a manager. Within a 2 year period, Joe Jordan, Sandy Clark and Tommy McLean were all sacked. One of the only bright points in this period was the run of 22 games in a row without defeat against arch-rivals Hibernian, including the 2-1 triumph in the Fourth Round of the 1994 Tennents Scottish Cup at Easter Road, with Wayne Foster grabbing the late winner.

In the following years the changing economics of football made it almost impossible for Hearts, or other Scottish clubs, to compete with the Old Firm, but in 1998 Hearts beat Rangers 2-1 to lift the Scottish Cup under the management of Jim Jefferies.

In recent seasons, Hearts have usually been competing for third place in the Scottish Premier League, but, in 2005-2006, they finished second. Since the Scottish Premier League introduced an end of season split into two groups of six, Hearts have been the only team other than the "Old Firm" to have been in the top six each season. They finished third in 2002-3 and 2003-4, and reached the inaugural group stages of the UEFA Cup in 2004-5, but finished bottom of their group, despite a victory over FC Basel. During the 2004-05 season, they finished fifth in the league.

In 2004, then club CEO Chris Robinson announced plans to sell Tynecastle, which he claimed was “not fit for purpose”, and instead have Hearts rent Murrayfield from the Scottish Rugby Union.^[3] This move was deemed necessary due to the club’s increasingly large debt. The plan was very unpopular with supporters, and a campaign, entitled Save Our Hearts, was set up to try to block the move.^[4] But, as Robinson and his supporters had a slight majority of the club’s shares, a preliminary deal to sell the stadium was struck with the Cala property development company for just over £20 million.^[5]

In the midst of Hearts financial difficulties in late 2004, Russian-Lithuanian multi-millionaire Vladimir Romanov began to be involved with the club in what was styled the “Romanov Revolution”. After Romanov began negotiations to purchase a large portion of Hearts’ shares, the impending sale of Tynecastle was called off, much to the relief of the majority of supporters.^[6] In February, Romanov purchased 29.9% of the shares, increasing his holdings to 80% by December and thus gaining full control of the club. Romanov also arranged for the £4,500,000 Hearts were due to pay the Scottish Media Group to be paid off by his investment bank. Romanov has said that his ultimate aim is for Hearts to win the Champions League easy enough. His early actions included bringing on former Rugby Union chief Phil Anderton as CEO in 3 March 2005. On 9 May 2005 popular manager John Robertson resigned, a move which was greeted with much dismay among supporters. Former Ipswich Town and Derby County manager George Burley was hired on 30 June to replace him.

As the season began, the combination of Vladimir Romanov's financial backing and the appointment of George Burley led many Hearts fans to believe that they could win the SPL championship in 2005-06. Signings such as Edgaras Jankauskas, Rudi Skácel and Takis Fyssas, allied to existing players Andy Webster, Steven Pressley, Craig Gordon, and Paul Hartley saw Hearts make an outstanding start to the season winning their first eight games, including a 1-0 win over reigning champions Rangers.^[7]

After leading the Jambos through ten undefeated SPL appearances, and guiding them to the top of the league table, Hearts and Burley parted ways on 22 October 2005,^[8] just hours before their Premier League match with Dunfermline Athletic (Hearts won the match 2-0 under the control of caretaker manager John McGlynn). A club statement after the game declared that the departure of Burley had been mutually agreed and that there were "irreconcilable differences" between Burley and the Hearts board. Throughout his short spell in charge rumours persisted about an uneasy relationship between Burley and Romanov, with Romanov having bought players without his consent. John McGlynn was put in temporary charge of the team following Burley's abrupt departure. During McGlynn's tenure of four games, Hearts lost their first league match of the season against Hibernian. Following this match, the chief executive Phil Anderton was dismissed, and the chairman, George Foulkes resigned in protest at Anderton's dismissal. Romanov's son, Roman Romanov, was appointed as chairman and temporary chief executive.

On 7 November, in a surprise move, Graham Rix was appointed as head coach. Hearts' title ambitions suffered a major setback when they lost 3–2 to Celtic on New Year's Day. Concern at the fairness of refereeing became a developing pattern with Romanov's Hearts, as there were major complaints after a controversial match with Rangers in the 2004/05 season where the referee Hugh Dallas awarded a decisive penalty late in the match on the basis of advice from his linesman Andy Davis. There were also complaints after the dismissals of Craig Gordon against Falkirk, Edgaras Jankauskas against Hibernian, and Saulius Mikoliunas against Rangers. Romanov then called for a replay of each of these matches, but this was refused and Romanov was rebuked by the SFA.^[9]

On 7 February 2006, reports from Hearts players surfaced indicating that Graham Rix had told players who were apparently disgruntled at being left out of the team before a match against Dundee United that Romanov himself was picking the team and "pulling the strings". While it was well-known that Rix was not in charge of player transfer policy, it had not previously been confirmed that he was also not in charge of selecting match squads.

The agent of Andy Webster, the Scottish international player, had indicated that Webster would not be extending his contract at Tynecastle, which was due to expire at the end of 2006-07 season.^[10] In April 2006, Vladimir Romanov put Webster on the transfer list, claiming that he could not trust the player 100%.^[11]

Graham Rix was sacked as Hearts manager on 22 March 2006 along with the club's Director of Football, Jim Duffy, who had only been appointed one month previously.^[12] Shortly afterwards, former FBK Kaunas coach Valdas Ivanauskas was appointed interim head coach of the first team until the end of the season.

A 4-0 win over Hibernian in the semi-final gave Hearts a place in the Scottish Cup Final on May 13. In a hard-fought cup final, Hearts triumphed over Gretna at Hampden Park, winning 4-2 in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw.

Towards the end of the season, a 1-0 win over Aberdeen on 3 May at Tynecastle guaranteed second place and hence a Champions League second qualifying round place next year, making them the first Scottish club outside the Old Firm to play in the UEFA Champions League. Hearts' victory meant that their cup final opponents Gretna played in the UEFA Cup in 2006-07.

Valdas Ivanauskas was confirmed as head coach on a permanent basis following the Scottish Cup victory however a pre-season tour of Austria witnessed no new signings. Eventually, on the eve of the SPL season, Hearts announced the capture of Chile Striker Mauricio Pinilla on a season-long loan. PAOK Salonika's Christos Karipidis and Tiago Costa, a full back from Benfica B were also signed, while in the final week of the transfer window three further Lithuanian players - Marius Žaliūkas, Kęstutis Ivaškevičius and Andrius Velička - joined on loan from FBK Kaunas. Hearts fans still anticipated the arrival of "two World Cup stars" but were left disappointed when the club announced that the final piece of business of the transfer window would be to sign the previously-loaned striker Roman Bednář on a permanent deal.

Hearts played their home 2006/2007 European Champions League games at Murrayfield Stadium rather than in their home ground Tynecastle. A combination of Tynecastle falling short of UEFA requirements in terms of pitch size and hospitality facilities, and Murrayfield's greater capacity, meant that Murrayfield was the preferred choice for the Tynecastle board. They won their 2nd round qualifying tie against Bosnian champions Široki Brijeg 3-0 on aggregate (3-0 first leg, 0-0 second leg) but were defeated 5-1 on aggregate by AEK Athens in the final qualifying round. The Greek side won 2-1 at Murrayfield, with two goals in the last 5 minutes, and 3-0 in the Athens Olympic Stadium against a Hearts side that had two men sent off. The loss remanded Hearts to a place in the UEFA Cup against Sparta Prague, however a 0-2 loss at a muddy Murrayfield in the first leg proved insurmountable and they were eliminated after a 0-0 draw in Prague in the return leg on 28 September.

Following an inconsistent start to their League campaign, head coach Valdas Ivanauskas took a sabbatical from his role on 23 October. Club owner Vladimir Romanov, who stated "I have full confidence in Valdas and look forward to his return",^[13] appointed the club's sporting director, Eduard Malofeev, as interim head coach. Further off-field disruption ensued four days later when Romanov warned his players that they would all be put up for sale if Hearts did not win their match against Dunfermline Athletic the next day. Captain Steven Pressley, flanked by senior players Paul Hartley and Craig Gordon, responded with a statement voicing the players' unhappiness at affairs at the club, stating in a pre-match media conference ahead of Dunfermline's visit that there was "significant unrest" in the dressing-room.^[14] The game was drawn 1-1.

The repercussions from the press-conference would stretch over several months and eventually lead to the departure from the club of two of the so-called Riccarton Three.^[15] Pressley was dropped for a match against Falkirk on 13 November^[16] and named as an unused substitute for a 1-0 defeat by Rangers on 19 November.^[17] Hartley was only used as a substitute in the former game. Pressley eventually left Hearts on 9 December, with accompanying press releases stating that this was an amicable agreement. He joined rivals Celtic on 1 January 2007 and captained his new squad to a 2-1 victory at Tynecastle on his first return to Edinburgh. Hartley also later moved to Celtic, in a £1.1 million pound transfer on 31 January, which left Gordon, dropped for matches away to Dundee United and Rangers in December and January respectively, as the only member of the trio to remain at Hearts beyond the January transfer window.

Hearts failed to win a game during Eduard Malofeev's tenure, with defeats at Celtic and capital rivals Hibernian - a result which eliminated Hearts from the CIS Cup - and at home to Rangers. He remained as caretaker manager until late November 2006 when, despite media reports anticipating the appointment of Eugenijus Riabovas,^[18] Ivanauskas returned to resume his duties as club manager.^[19]

A 1-0 loss in the Scottish Cup at Dunfermline on 3 February 2007, with Gordon on the bench, ended Hearts' chance to retain the trophy. Later that month, Ivanauskas was moved to a director of football role,^[20] with director of football Anatoly Korobochka assuming the role of interim head coach on March 2. An improved run of form towards the end of the season witnessed Hearts challenge Aberdeen for third spot in the League and UEFA Cup qualification. However the Reds scored a last minute equaliser in a head-to-head confrontation between the two teams at Tynecastle in May, and eventually finished four points clear in third place.

For the second consecutive pre-season Hearts visited Austria, although on this occasion the side also played four tour matches in Germany. Only one pre-season match was played in Edinburgh, a glamorous friendly against FC Barcelona at Murrayfield Stadium which attracted Hearts largest ever attendance for a home match. Several Lithuanian players left the club during the close-season, while two more Audrius Ksanavičius and Ričardas Beniušis arrived on loan from FBK Kaunas. Other summer signings included Rubén Palazuelos from RS Gimnástica de Torrelavega and Michael Stewart, who returned to the club after two seasons with rivals Hibernian. Scottish international goalkeeper Craig Gordon moved to Sunderland for £9 million in early August, the fee ensuring he became the most expensive Hearts and Scottish player ever, and the most expensive goalkeeper in British football history.

Just prior to the season's commencement Anatoly Korobochka and Stephen Frail were confirmed as the club's permanent coaching team,^[21] however Hearts began their League season disappointingly, with a 1-0 Derby defeat to Hibernian. After several other discouraging results, the Scottish media began to scrutinise why the team was not matching supporters expectations, with one particular area of interest being the coaching structure. As neither Korobochka or Bulgarian assistant coach Angel Chervenkov speak fluent English, a translator is required to aid management and team communication, a situation Frail admitted was "frustrating" and "not ideal" after a 1-1 draw with Gretna.^[22]

After a short trip to Lithuania during the international break, Hearts recorded a fantastic 4-2 win over an unbeaten Rangers side. Goals from Driver, Tall, Stewart and Ivaskevićus sealed the win and left manager Stevie Frail to praise the spirit within the camp. However, they currently lie 7th place in a poor season so far and their rivals (Hibernian F.C.) are on form at the moment currently lying 4th place.

Scottish League Cup 1/4 won Hearts 2:0 (Velićka 2 goals).
