Hearts today announced that it is to celebrate the life of the legendary John Cumming, who passed away last week, before this weekend's home match against Dundee United.

John, the most decorated player in Hearts history won two league titles, one Scottish Cup and four league cups.

He was laid to rest last week after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.

On Saturday a minute of silence will take place before the game. John's family will be guests of the club at the match.

Additionally, a special commemorative Matchday Programme is to be published including a wide range of tributes to John, more details of which will be revealed later this week.
