Heart of Midlothian will play their Scottish Cup quarter-final tie with Greenock Morton on a Monday evening after it was selected for television coverage.

Steven Naismith will take his team to Cappielow on March 11 as they look to reach the last four of the competition. BBC Scotland have chosen the fixture as one of their two lives matches and it will kick off at 7.45pm.

Morton are playing on the Tuesday prior to Scottish Cup weekend which may explain the game being on Monday rather than Friday. BBC are also showing Aberdeen v Kilmarnock on Saturday afternoon. Viaplay are providing an Old Firm double header on Sunday with Celtic hosting Livingston, followed by Rangers' trip to Easter Road to face Hibs.

All three of Hearts' matches in the tournament will have been shown live. The win over The Spartans was an early Saturday afternoon encounter, while the 4-1 victory at Airdrieonians was moved to a late afternoon/early evening slot on a Sunday.

It will be the club's first trip to Cappielow since the 2020/21 Championship season and the first competitive match at the stadium when fans were allowed since a 0-0 in 1987.

Ticketing information will be confirmed by Hearts in due course.
