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.
