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

Hearts take a five-point advantage over Rangers into their crucial trip to Ibrox

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.
