Hearts vs İstanbul Başakşehir on TV: Channel, kick-off time and live stream details

Hearts will be looking to put their domestic woes behind them as they get their European adventure underway.

Robbie Neilson's men are in the Europa Conference League group stages following their Europa League play-off round defeat to Swiss champions FC Zurich. The guarantee of six more matches minimum begins this week with Turkish side İstanbul Başakşehir providing the opposition on matchday one.

The Jambos have been out of sorts in recent weeks with a poor run of results behind them going into this clash. They've also suffered injuries to key men such as Liam Boyce and Kye Rowles but some new recruits in the shape of Stephen Humphrys, Zander Clark and Robert Snodgrass will certainly help boost morale and give more depth and quality to the squad.
