Players from Hearts and Hibs are currently taking a fortnight’s break before the second round of the Scottish Premiership begins.

The core of both teams’ midfields consists of important players who will be needed from now until mid-May. Among the top 16 performing midfielders in the nation are players from Hearts and Hibs, as well as one star who has a pre-contract with the Jambos.

The Scottish Premiership’s best midfielders have been ranked by The Edinburgh Evening News using data from WhoScored, with the pre-split phase of the season now over and players gearing up for the final few games. Look down below.
