Easter Road hosts the first Edinburgh derby of the season on October 26 before a Boxing Day derby at Tynecastle which will be shown live on Sky Sports. The final Capital clash is on March 1.
Fans are reminded that all games are subject to date and kick-off time changes due to television.
And Hearts’ participation in Europe means many of the domestic Saturday fixtures will change to Sunday. They will not be confirmed until the UEFA draws are made.
Meanwhile, Yan Dhanda is now officially a Jambo and he posted on the club’s social media that Hearts are in his family.
The midfielder said: “My grandad and my uncle have a season ticket here, so I know how passionate the supporters are. Since I’ve been seven-year-old, I’ve been around it and I know how much this club means to them and the fans.”
Dhanda has signed a three-year-deal and arrives from Ross County and he is the sixth summer signing by Naismith. Another newcomer is forward Musa Drammeh who joins from Sevilla in La Liga.
The player said: “I had a lot of offers when I was with Sevilla but, after talking with the coach, he explained to me the project here.”
