The Championship-winning Hearts squad paid a visit to the county earlier this week.

Robbie Neilson’s squad paid a visit to Musselburgh Racecourse on Tuesday afternoon, where they showed off the Championship trophy.

Members of the squad, including stalwart Callum Paterson and Alim Ozturk, the club’s new captain, posed for pictures with their silverware, as they took time out from their pre-season schedule.

The Jambos are preparing to make their return to the SPFL Premiership after a year in the second tier, and kick-off their competitive season against Arbroath next Thursday.

Their final pre-season match on Sunday is against Everton.
