Hearts held their Player of the Year awards night in Edinburgh on Sunday to honour the efforts of both the men’s and women’s teams throughout the campaign. A series of trophies were given out in front of a healthy crowd at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
Men’s head coach Steven Naismith and women’s coach Eva Olid saw a number of players collecting awards on a night of celebration. In particular, special moments in men’s matches against Hibs were recognised through the Save of the Season and Goal of the Season trophies.
