Hearts v Motherwell: How to watch Premiership clash, and who is the referee

Motherwell face the second half of an Edinburgh double this week when they travel through to face Hearts at Tynecastle on Saturday.

Graham Alexander's side hosted Hibs at Fir Park on Wednesday, where the two sides battled out a 0-0 draw, though Motherwell's Liam Donnelly and their boss were both sent off.

Hearts, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat at home to Celtic.

Motherwell and Hearts have a 2-0 win each this season, with Robbie Neilson's men taking the points from the Tynecastle tussle back in October. Connor Shields and Ricki Lamie were on target when the Steelmen won on November 20.

Hearts are far enough ahead in the table that they don't need to worry about Motherwell just yet, but an away win would obviously eat the gap up by three more points.

It's a 3pm kick-off in Gorgie, and capacity crowds are allowed, so if you bought a ticket in advance, it is possible to go to the game.

The full game will also be broadcast by BBC Alba on Saturday evening, at 6pm and 10.55pm.

Craig Napier is the referee for this one, and will be assisted by Ross Macleod and Michael Banks, with Colin Steven as fourth official.

Napier has been in charge of 22 games this season and has issued 57 yellow and four red cards.

He officiated at three games involving Motherwell; 2-1 wins over Livingston and Ross County on August 21 and September 25, and a 3-0 defeat to Dundee at Dens Park on November 27.

Saturday's game will be the first time he has been in charge of a game involving Hearts this season.
