Away days for Hearts

Hearts have struck an agreement that will see their two opening Premiership home matches played at Motherwell and Kilmarnock instead as work continues on their new £12million main stand. Hearts will now travel to Rugby Park on August 12 and Fir Park two weeks later. The arrangement means Hearts will play their first four league games away from home – they also take on Celtic and Rangers – before they host Aberdeen on September 9 in the first game in front of the new structure.
