Hearts v Rangers: when is Scottish League Cup semi final? TV channel, live stream, tickets and kick off time

Hearts are through to the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup following a 2-1 win over Kilmarnock earlier this week. Steven Naismith’s side have been no stranger to turbulence so far this season but they will now rejoice in reaching the final four of the competition and will now prepare to face Rangers at Hampden Park.

Goals from Jorge Grant and Alex Lowry cancelled out Kilmarnock’s Brad Lyons effort and now the Jambos will prepare to face the 27-time winners of the tournament.

Speaking after the win, Naismith said of his team’s performance: “The conditions were tricky but, overall, I thought we played really well.“I’ve asked [Alex Lowry] to show moments of quality, not potential, and he comes up with an unbelievable moment.”

Hearts have just over a month to prepare for their final four fixture, but here is all the information you need to know about how to follow the action in November...
