Heart of Midlothian F.C. (almost always referred to as Hearts) is a football club from Edinburgh, Scotland which plays in the Scottish Premier League. It is one of the two principal clubs in the city, the other being Hibernian. The club is currently managed by Valdas Ivanauskas. Vladimir Romanov recently became the major shareholder of Hearts when he took over Chris Robinson's stake.
History
Hearts were founded in 1874 and are named after a dance hall, which in turn took its name from the novel The Heart of Midlothian by Sir Walter Scott. The first Hearts Captain, Tom Purdie, stated that they may have played in 1873. They initially played at the Meadows, Powburn and Powderhall before moving to the Gorgie area in 1881. They moved to their current Tynecastle site in 1886. Their badge is based on the Heart of Midlothian mosaic on the Royal Mile.
Hearts' major rivals in the city of Edinburgh are Hibernian F.C. In response to Hibernian's largely Irish-Catholic fan base in East Edinburgh, Hearts assumed a default alliance with Protestant interests in the capital, although sectarian ties have nowhere near the influence that they do in Glasgow with the rivalry between Rangers and Celtic football clubs (see also Old Firm). Hearts' first match was on Christmas Day 1875, when they beat Hibernians 1–0. It wasn't until their titanic five game struggle for the EFA Cup in 1878, that the two clubs became the dominant ones in Edinburgh. Hearts won the fifth match tussle 3–2 after 0–0, 1–1, 1–1 and 1–1 draws.
