2025 is ending with Hearts at the Premiership summit and there’s hope of a bright long-term future in Gorgie.
The first half of the year proved disappointing as the club finished in the bottom six and Neil Critchley was sacked as head coach. Fast forward to December and the Jambos have lost just twice in the league this campaign and are locked in a title battle that has potential to go the distance.
Tony Bloom’s investment has been the spark to light a rocket of positivity at Tynecastle and Derek McInnes’ side have been doing their part on the pitch with a number of brilliant results and performances. From what has been a major year for Hearts, here are 17 of the best photos.
