How to watch Hearts vs Dundee: Live stream, team news, referee and VAR for Scottish Premiership clash
Here’s how to watch the Jambos in action this weekend
Hearts are looking to extend their unbeaten run against Dundee at home this weekend in the SPFL Premiership.
An emphatic 3-1 Edinburgh Derby win against Hibs at Easter Road further added to the Gorgie feel-good factor. Manager Wouter Vrancken lost his first four games in charge - but has followed that up with five wins and two draws as his tactical philosophy continue to pay dividends. With free-flowing attacking football, capital city bragging rights and a European tour on the horizon, it’s fair to say the new gaffer has silenced any early critics.
Next up for the Jambos is a tough test against Steven Pressley’s Dundee at home. The former Hearts captain is another Premiership boss that’s proved doubters wrong, as he continues to build a strong side. In a match which hasn’t been chosen for television broadcast, here’s how Hearts fans without tickets can tune into the action this weekend, as well as some other useful match information:

What is the Hearts team news ahead of the Dundee clash?
Midfielder Blair Spittal is a doubt for the weekend as he left Easter Road in a moon boot and on crutches after being substituted off in the second half. The injury didn’t stop him celebrating with the travelling fans after the game on one leg, as Vrancken hopes the severity is minimal. He claimed after the game: "We don't know yet. I don't think it's too bad. Talking after the game with him and seeing him jumping on his crutches. It's really early to say something about this. Hopefully he can get rid of the boot this evening or tomorrow morning."
Elsewhere, Sunday could see a debut for the deadline day additions of midfielder Leart Kabashi and winger Aron Benjaminsen. New American striker JJ Williams came off the bench for a 20 minute cameo against the Hibees and is set to feature again at the weekend.
What have Hearts said ahead of the Dundee clash?
Hearts are dealing with a congested fixture schedule at the moment - and are set come thicker and faster when the Conference League begins. Despite their recent run of positive results, Vrancken insists they must stay focused for the weeks ahead. He added: "It's important that we kept the focus, kept the concentration there because when you have a setback and you have a lot of games already played in a short time, it's not always easy to keep it like this and we're really proud that we did it."
