What TV channel is Hearts vs Rangers on? Live stream, kick off, referee and VAR latest for Tynecastle sizzler

It could be a critical night in the Premiership title race for Hearts as they host Rangers in their penultimate game at Tynecastle this season.

Celtic’s win over Hibs on Sunday means the Jambos’ lead at the top ahead of kick-off has been reduced to merely goal difference, but they know how vital the bank holiday clash is, and what it could do for their aspirations. Victory would reaffirm a three points cushion for Hearts over Celtic one spot beneath them in second while Rangers in third would be seven back with nine left to play for.

What has Derek McInnes said ahead of Hearts vs Rangers?

Hearts manager Derek McInnes stated: “You just want to get the game played. But, of course, you look forward to these games. I love the games at Tynecastle in particular, the whole build-up to it. So, there's obviously a lot riding on the game. And we can’t downplay that. And why would we? It's a brilliant game to be involved in. I think all the Hearts supporters I've spoken to here are eagerly anticipating the game.

“Monday at that time is unusual, but it's not going to dilute what's going to be unfolding on Monday. The start of the game will be magnificent. Hopefully the end of the game is even better. We just want Tynecastle to be in its full glory, to be honest. We want it to be even better than it's been. To the supporters, bring your scarves, show your colours, give it laldy. Let's go and make it a proper night. We'll be determined to get the right result.”
