Hearts have released a number of top stars including Christophe Berra and Zdenek Zlamal as part of their summer departures.
Robbie Neilson's men were promoted this season from the Championship to the top flight in the Premiership.
And the manager had decisions to make on which players he would keep on his retain list for the new campaign.
Former captain Berra, central midfielder Aidy White and Harry Cochrane will leave as well as winger Elliott Frear and striker Craig Wighton who spent last season on loan at Dunfermline.
The club shared a statement on social media last night, saying: "11 players will leave Hearts upon expiration of their contracts over the next ten days.
"The contracts of Aidy White, Christophe Berra, Zdenek Zlamal, Harry Cochrane, Elliott Frear, Sean Ward and Leeroy Makovora all expire today.
"Olly Lee, Colin Doyle, Lewis Moore and Craig Wighton will move on from the club after their deals end on June 9th. Gervane Kastaneer will return to his parent club Coventry City following his loan spell at Tynecastle.
"Whilst Andy Irving’s contract expires today, under FIFA rules in relation to training compensation, a player has until June 14th to accept the contract offer made to him.
"The club would like to thank each player leaving Hearts for their efforts every time they pulled on a maroon shirt and we wish them all the best in the future."
