Yet you'd think by the way they go on about that Hearts would be top not bottom

So much for Hearts' much trumpeted focus on home grown talent.

Hang on, wasnt Levein meant to be the new Matt Busby with that wondrous crop of kids at Tiny?

Something doesn’t make sense.

This is a really positive bit of analysis - it says a lot for the set up at the club that we top the table for this. Hibs should use it to highlight the reasons a young player should choose us rather than a rival club.

Although it does help to highlight that, it isn't an indicator that we have a lot of youth in the team, or indeed a lot of recent youth in the team. Hanlon (28), Stevenson (30) and Whittaker (34) will be making up a fair chunk of that time. I think we are quite unique that two of our first names on the team sheet have been here their whole careers and had testimonials.
