Hearts will kick-off the 2009-10 Clydesdale Bank Premier League season away to Dundee United at Tannadice on Saturday 15th August.

The Jambos then welcome Rangers for the first Tynecastle clash of the season on Sunday 23rd August. This game has been moved to accommodate Hearts' Europa League debut.

Next up is a trip to face newly promoted Irn-Bru First Division Champions St Johnstone on Sunday 30th August. Again this fixture has been moved as a result of Hearts involvement in Europe.

The first Edinburgh derby of the campaign is at Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday 7th November, whilst the traditional New Year clash returns, at Easter Road on Saturday 2nd January. The final derby of the season before the split is on Saturday 20th March.

Hearts are at Falkirk on Boxing Day (Saturday 26th December) and will welcome Motherwell to Edinburgh for a midweek clash on Wednesday 30th December (7.45pm). The second midweek fixture of the season is against Aberdeen at home on Wednesday 27th January (7.45pm).

In a year which includes five midweek fixtures because of the World Cup in South Africa, Hearts travel to Celtic on Wednesday 10th February (7.45pm) and then travel to Fir Park to play Motherwell on Wednesday 24th March (7.45pm). The final midweek round takes place after the split.

Hearts final three games before the league splits are against Rangers (Saturday 27th March at home), St Mirren (Saturday 3rd April at home) and Kilmarnock (Saturday 10th April at home).

All fixtures are subject to change and TV selections will follow in due course.
