Heart of Midlothian are set for a hectic 2024/25 campaign and the club now know their Premiership fixtures after the SPFL release.

The team have returned for pre-season ahead of the new campaign. Those away with Scotland at Euro 2024 and Kenneth Vargas will all get extra time off due to international commitments and their season has not finished yet. Kye Rowles and Cammy Devlin have been given an extra few days due to their Australia call-up earlier this month.

Hearts will enter the Europa League play-off round, instead of advancing straight into the league phase of the competition. The club will host English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in a glamour friendly. It is the third friendly announced so far while the team will spend time in Tenerife for a warm-weather training camp.

The SPFL revealed earlier this year that because of the new format of European football, there would be no winter break.

A statement said: "The expansion of the UEFA club competitions – the league phase of the Champions League and Europa League each run until the end of January – exerts additional pressure on the domestic calendar and means there will be no scheduled Premiership winter break in season 2024/25."
