Michael Stewart has been handed the captain's armband by Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo.
The Jambos boss revealed recently that Stewart and Marius Zaliukas had emerged as the two leading candidates for the role.
Zaliukas will act as vice-captain but Laszlo stressed the responsibility will be very much shared between the two players.
Robbie Neilson took over the captaincy in January following Christophe Berra's departure to Wolves but the right-back's move to Leicester left the skipper's position vacant again.
Laszlo told the club's official website, www.heartsfc.co.uk: "I really have two captains. They will have joint responsibility.
"For example, Marius is coming with me to the Scottish FA meeting at Hampden and will feature in the promotional photograph for the Clydesdale Bank.
"Michael will do other jobs but we will share and we will learn and grow together."

pt2 you are so funny mate lets all have laugh at the end o the season ive alredy got £10 FOR EVERY POINT HIBS ARE ABOVE HEARTS EASY MONEY
you should be glad theres only 3 derbies you could only beat us 1s last season good season for hibs hearts look at your pre season you still need a striker o i forgot eddy murphys going to get double figures hhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
He was the only man for the job for us.Im not to sure about big zali being the vice captain though his disciplinary record is poor. No matter I think its gonna be a succesful season for us Jambos. Just a shame there will only be 3 derbies as Hibs will be bottom 6
Paul, who's the Hobo captain? Deke Riordan or his probation officer?
this must be one off the bigest laughts of the day the ball boys could do a better job than this reject
