Six of Hearts of Midlothian's Scottish Premiership matches have been rescheduled to Sundays, the SPFL have confirmed.

This change comes as a result of the Jambos' participation in European competitions.

Steven Naismith's team will be competing in the new-look UEFA Conference League this season, with an away game versus Dinamo Minsk, which is being played in Azerbaijan, first up on Thursday, October 3. 

Among the affected fixtures are next month’s clash against Aberdeen at Pittodrie and the highly anticipated Edinburgh derby.

Additionally, an away match at Ibrox in November, along with three fixtures in December, have all been moved back by a day.

Five of the six fixtures have yet to be given a kick-off time with Hearts stating: "Please note that some kick-off times are still to be confirmed as they remain subject to potential live broadcast".
