Hearts have a strong connection with Tottenham Hotspur, notably through the legendary Davy Mackay, and have played each other 13 times, the most recent of those a Europa League play-off tie in 2011. Spurs ran out 5-0 winners in Gorgie in the first-leg with Rafael van der Vaart, Jermain Defoe and Gareth Bale among the scorers in a one-sided encounter in front of more than 16,000. Harry Redknapp made a number of changes for the second-leg and Paulo Sergio's side earned a 0-0 draw thanks to a Jamie MacDonald penalty save from Harry Kane.

Spurs also played three friendlies at Tynecastle Park in the 90s with Colin Cameron and Lee Makel scoring in a 2-2 draw in the last of those in 1999.

Hearts Standard:

Former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is head coach having taken over last summer. He led them to fifth in his first season in charge. Naismith developed a good relationship with the Aussie boss before he departed from Scotland.

Hearts now have three friendlies organised ahead of the new season. Between the fixture with Spurs they will play Leyton Orient at Tynecastle Park as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations on July 13th and travel to face Fleetwood Town on July 27. The club also confirmed their plans to head to Tenerife for a warm-weather training camp.

Ticket details for the Spurs match will be released at a later date.
