What channel is Rangers v Hearts? TV and live stream plus team news, referee and VAR

Both clubs were in action on Thursday with Rangers returning from Greece with a Europa League point following a 1-1 draw with Olympiacos thanks to Cyriel Dessers’ second half equaliser. Hearts were on home soil as they went down to a 2-0 defeat in the Conference League to German side Heidenheim after failing to take advantage of first-half dominance at Tynecastle.

Hearts and Rangers have endured disappointing league campaigns to date since battling out a goalless draw on the opening day of the season. Philippe Clement’s Gers side find themselves in third place, nine points behind Celtic and 12 behind Aberdeen, who have played a game more, at the top of the table, after losing three of their opening 10 matches. Hearts parted company with head coach Steven Naismith after failing to win any of their opening six Premiership games while his replacement Neil Critchley has picked up two wins, one draw and a defeat in the league so far.

While Rangers cannot afford another slip-up as they look to avoid falling any further behind in the title race, Hearts are also in need of a positive result as they remain second bottom of the table, one point ahead of derby rivals Hibs. The Gorgie side have lost on their last three visits to Ibrox since a 2-2 draw in May 2023 and have not won in Govan in over 10 years since a 2-1 victory in August 2014.
