Hearts Reserves are the reserve team of Hearts.
Hearts have been members of the Scottish Premier Reserve League since its foundation in the 1998/99 season. The league started as an U21 League but reverted to an open age group league in season 2004/05.[2] The Reserve League was abandoned for season 2009/10 due to financial constraints and a lack of support from other clubs.[3] Hearts Reserves formerly played their home games at Forthbank Stadium (the home of Stirling Albion). The team mainly consisted of Under-19 players and those on the fringe of the first team squad. Some of the first team also played when recovering from injury.
The Reserves' head coach is Gary Locke.
The Heart of Midlothian Under-19 Team competes in the Scottish Premier Under 19's League.
The under-19s play their home matches at Riccarton (Heriot-Watt University) training ground.
The Under-19s head coach is Darren Murray.
The following squad players are all products of the Hearts Academy at Riccarton. They are no longer eligible to play for any of the youth teams, but have yet to establish themselves as regulars with the first team. Game play for these players is currently limited to irregular starts,[4] substitute appearances with the first team or participation in "closed door" bounce games arranged directly with SPL or other clubs.
