League Cup

Having not qualified for Europe Hearts entered the League Cup at the group stages.[15] On 25 May, Hearts were drawn in Group C, alongside Cove Rangers, Cowdenbeath, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Raith Rovers.[16] On 18 July 2018, Hearts played Cove Rangers, which marked the first competitive match at Balmoral Stadium.[17] Olly Lee opened the scoring after 11 minutes, before fellow debutante Steven MacLean doubled the advantage in the second half.[18] Cove pulled one back via Paul McManus with 15 minutes remaining, but were unable to equalise.[19] During the 65th minute of the match Andrew Irving entered the field of play, replacing Olly Lee.[20] Irving's contract extension had not been corectly lodged with the Scottish Football Association, rendering him ineligible to play as his registration expired on 9 June.[21][22] An SPFL disciplinary hearing took place on Monday 23rd July,[23] as a result of which Hearts were deducted two points from the group stages and fined £10,000,[24] with £8,000 of the fine suspended until the end of the next season.[25]

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.[26] In the 90th minute Christophe Berra had a goal disalowed for impeding the keeper, however replays showed the foul was committed by a fellow Raith player.[27] With the sides level at 1–1 penalties were taken, with Hearts taking the bonus point 4–2 on penalties.[28] The group stage was wound up with two 5 – 0 wins at Tynecastle Park against Cowdenbeath[29] and Inverness Caledonian Thistle,[30] with goals from Steven MacLean, Uche Ikpeazu, Peter Haring, Steven Naismith, Michael Smith and Ben Garuccio.[30][31] The result against Inverness meant Hearts qualified to the Second round on goal difference.[32]
