Is Hearts vs Rangers on TV? Live stream, channel and kick off details for Scottish Premiership opener

Rangers will start the new season the way they ended the last one – with a tricky trip to Tynecastle to face Hearts.

And Philippe Clement will be hoping for a better outcome after the Light Blues were held to a thrilling 3-3 draw in Gorgie last time out. On that occasion their Scottish Premiership dream was already over, but a similar result this time would dampen the enthusiasm on day one of the campaign.

Rangers lost to Kilmarnock on the opening day last season and the mood was flat and Steven Naismith will be looking to make sure there is a repeat for Gers with the Jambos having high hopes for this season. Lawrence Shankland will lead out the men in maroon but there is intense speculation over his future with Clement considering a bid. Here is all you need to do know about the big game in the capital...
