There have been some excellent performances with the team scoring six in three different league games, including an opening day 6-2 thumping of Dundee, plus a Scottish Cup semi-final win over Hibs. There have also been a number of below-par displays, notably the loss to Brora Rangers in this season’s Scottish Cup.

5. Craig Halkett - 6.13
No one made more appearances than the centre-back. The centre of defence had its moments and that was the same with Halkett on a personal level. On his day, was hugely dominant. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group
6. Mihai Popescu - 5.46
Had performed well at St Mirren previously but struggled for any sort of consistency at Tynecastle. Lost his place in the team twice. Was guilty of giving the ball away too cheaply. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
7. Christophe Berra - 5.62
A disappointing end to his Hearts career, not featuring after the Queen of the South defeat. Provided a bit of solidity earlier in the campaign. Photo: Mark Scates - SNS Group
8. John Souttar - 7
The centre-back returned for the final four games of the season after more than a year out of football. He didn’t show any rustiness with four assured displays. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
