Is Rangers v Hearts on TV? Channel and how to watch Scottish Premiership fixture

Hearts have beaten Rangers twice this season after 19 games without a victory - (Jane Barlow/PA Wire)

Hearts face a huge test of their Scottish Premiership title credentials as they travel to second-placed Rangers with the chance to increase their advantage at the top.

The Jambos go to Ibrox five points clear of Rangers at the top, and with Celtic a point further behind - although the champions have a game in hand.

That’s thanks to Tuesday’s late win over rivals Hibernian at Tynecastle, which was followed by Rangers dropping points at fourth-placed Motherwell.

Hearts have won both of their meetings with Rangers this season, including their first win at Ibrox since 2014, as they look to become the first team outside of the Old Firm to win the title since 1985.

Is Rangers v Hearts on TV?

The Premiership fixture will be shown on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. Kick-off at Ibrox is at 4:30pm.

Team news

Max Aarons is a doubt for Rangers but Emmanuel Fernandez and Dujon Sterling could return to the starting line-up named by Danny Rohl.

Craig Halkett will return from suspension for Hearts but captain Lawrence Shankland is a long-term injury absentee and Cammy Devlin remains out.

Possible line-ups

Rangers XI: Butland; Tavernier, Souttar, Fernandez; Meghoma, Raskin, Cukwauani; Skov Olsen, Diomande, Moore; Chermiti

Hearts XI: Schwolow; McEntee, Halkett, Findlay, Milne; Leonard, Baningime; Chesnokov, Magnusson, Kyziridis; Braga
