League Cup

Having not qualified for Europe Hearts entered the League Cup at the group stages.[17] On 25 May, Hearts were drawn in Group C, alongside Cove Rangers, Cowdenbeath, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Raith Rovers.[18] On 18 July 2018, Hearts played Cove Rangers, which marked the first competitive match at Balmoral Stadium.[19] Olly Lee opened the scoring after 11 minutes, before fellow debutante Steven MacLean doubled the advantage in the second half.[20] Cove pulled one back via Paul McManus with 15 minutes remaining, but were unable to equalise.[21] During the 65th minute of the match Andrew Irving entered the field of play, replacing Olly Lee.[22] Irving's contract extension had not been correctly lodged with the Scottish Football Association, rendering him ineligible to play as his registration expired on 9 June.[23][24] An SPFL disciplinary hearing took place on Monday 23 July,[25] as a result of which Hearts were deducted two points from the group stages and fined £10,000,[26] with £8,000 of the fine suspended until the end of the next season.[27]

Hearts next group match was against Raith Rovers. Kevin Nisbet opened the scoring early in the second half for the home side, before Michael Smith equalised from 25 yards out.[28] In the 90th minute Christophe Berra had a goal disallowed for impeding the keeper, however replays showed the foul was committed by a fellow Raith player.[29] With the sides level at 1–1 penalties were taken, with Hearts taking the bonus point 4–2 on penalties.[30] The group stage was wound up with two 5 – 0 wins at Tynecastle Park against Cowdenbeath[31] and Inverness Caledonian Thistle,[32] with goals from Steven MacLean, Uche Ikpeazu, Peter Haring, Steven Naismith, Michael Smith and Ben Garuccio.[32][33] The result against Inverness meant Hearts qualified to the Second round on goal difference.[34]

Scottish Cup

Heart of Midlothian entered the competition in the fourth round of competition as one of the sixteens teams to enter in this round of the competition.[40] Their first opponent was at Tynecastle Park to Premiership side Livingston where a goal from Sean Clare saw the team win the match 1–0.[41]

In the fifth round they was drawn against Junior club Auchinleck Talbot at home who had knocked out a Championship side in the previous round.[42] The match saw four different goal scorers with Christophe Berra scoring the opener in the tenth minute of play. Two more goals from Demetri Mitchell and Steven MacLean opened the gap to three goals before the break. A goal in the second half from Aidan Keena secured the 4–0 win but not before an injury forced them down to ten men for the final twelve minutes.[43]

The quarter final saw the team travel to Firhill Stadium for the match against Championship side Partick Thistle. After an early goal from Christophe Berra, the team dominated the game with 59% of the possession. The tie though headed into a replay after Christie Elliott scored to level the match in the 72nd minute.[44] The replay at Tyncastle Park saw the away team getting the opening goal in the 17th minute from a Scott McDonald tap to give the championship side the early lead. But a goal from Uche Ikpeazu and the penalty conversation from Sean Clare saw Hearts qualify for the semi-final.[45]

For Hearts, this meant a semi final with another Championship side in Inverness in the first of two matches at Hampden Park. After a lacklustre first half, Uche Ikpeazu broke deadlock for the Hearts in the 49th minute with the shot coming off a deflection. After Jamie McCart goal was deemed offside in the 61st minute, John Souttar doubled the lead only four minutes later. Sean Clarke gave Hearts a 3–0 victory after Ikpeazu was brought down by Mark Ridgers to give a penalty which was converted.[46]

First team player statistics

Captains

Christophe Berra continued as captain for season 2018–19, having been re-appointed as captain the previous season.[48][49] Only six games into the season Berra suffered a torn hamstring at Tynecastle against Celtic, ruling himself out for a period of around 6 months.[50] In his absence three other players were given the opportunity to captain Hearts. Fellow defender John Souttar was initially appointed captain in his absence at the age of 21,[51][52] however whilst on international duty with Scotland Souttar injured the lining of his hip and was ruled out for five months.[53] With Berra and Souttar injured Steven Naismith took the captain's armband for the first time against Aberdeen on 20 October 2018.[54] Naismith's stint as Captain lasted just three games, as he suffered a tear in the cartilage in his knee during the League Cup Semi-final and was ruled out for a period of six to eight weeks.[55] This led to Peter Haring becoming the fourth player of the season to play as captain.[56]

Berra returned as captain earlier than anticipated[57] on 2 December versus Rangers.[58]
