Reserve Team

Hearts Reserves are the reserve team of Heart of Midlothian.

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 was Gary Locke.
