Hearts have discovered the rescheduled date for their Premiership fixture with St Mirren.
The initial fixture at Tynecastle on September 11th was postponed due to the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It has now been confirmed that Hearts will host the Buddies - who beat Celtic 2-0 on Sunday - on December 21, the Wednesday before Christmas. Original match tickets remain valid for the clash.
Midweek fixtures aren't anything new to manager Robbie Neilson and his players as they continue their Europa Conference League campaign on Thursday's alongside their Premiership endeavours. They head into the international break off the back of a fruitful week, where they beat RFS 2-0 in Latvia and succeeded 3-0 away at Motherwell when returning to Scotland.

It was a result that pleased Neilson. He said: "I was delighted with the result first and foremost. We came here off the back of a tough game on Thursday night and all the travel that entails.

"I thought the players gave everything out on that pitch. You had boys breaking down, and the boys who came on were outstanding.
"It’s a huge three points and it means we go into the international break third in the league and second in the conference group.
"Couldn’t be happier. Listen, Motherwell are a very good team. There maybe were times where we rode our luck, but to get the second and third goals was great."
