The top 10 Hearts players across the 2022/23 season - ranked in order

The best Hearts players across the 2022/23 season, ranked in order from the best to the guy who’s lucky not to be among the rest.

It’s been a rollercoaster season for the Tynecastle club. After a strong start, the weight of playing an additional eight games due to their involvement in European football took a heavy toll with a downturn in results. But once they were eliminated they were able to rally, establish a healthy lead in third, knock Hibs out of the Scottish Cup and looked on course again for another shot at group-stage football on the continent. However, their form suddenly took a drastic turn for the worse, Robbie Neilson was sacked and, with three games remaining, fans are praying there is one final sting in the tale.

As a result of this, and a ridiculous injury list which stopped the likes of Craig Halkett, Beni Baningime, Peter Haring and Liam Boyce from appearing in this list, it’s been difficult to properly collate a top 10 of the best individual player performances across the season. But this writer has given it his best shot.
