Hearts and Hibs 2015-16 fixtures revealed

Hearts will open their Scottish Premiership season against St Johnstone at Tynecastle, while Hibs face Dumbarton away in the Championship.

Hearts and Hibs will kick off their 2015-16 seasons.

The Jambos cantered to the second-tier title last term despite having Rangers and city rivals Hibs for competition - but they will come up against a Saints side who could potentially be up to full speed on the back of their Europa League qualifiers, which kick off on July 2.

Head Coach Alan Stubbs said: “There is always a huge amount of excitement when the fixtures come out to discover how our schedule will look for the upcoming season.

“Our planning starts now and will ensure we’re ready and thoroughly prepared for the first game at Dumbarton on 8 August, which will be a tough start.

“Everything we do is geared towards making sure we prepare correctly and that we hit the ground running once the season starts.

“There is a lot of optimism and excitement and now we need to build on that in order to experience an enjoyable and successful season.”
