Kevin Clancy will be the man in the middle for the New Year Edinburgh derby.
Hearts welcome Hibs to Easter Road in the latest battle between the city rivals this season. Robbie Neilson's men returned from the World Cup shutdown with a big home win over Kilmarnock while Hibs lost out in a five-goal thriller to Rangers in Michael Beale's first game in the Ibrox dugout.
Both clubs play twice more this calendar year before the Tynecastle battle on January 2. The Jambos are on the road on Christmas Eve as they face Dundee United at Tannadice before a trip to Perth four days later to face St Johnstone. For Lee Johnson and his troops it is back to back home games against Livingston and Celtic over the festive period.
Frank Connor and David Roome will run the lines with Steven McLean the fourth official. Nick Walsh is the man on VAR with Graeme Stewart alongside him.
Hearts are currently fourth in the Premiership standings. They sit four points ahead of Hibs in eighth - having played one game less than the Easter Road men.
They are just one point behind Aberdeen in third spot, who have played a game more, in the race to finish behind Celtic and Rangers as the best of the rest as they look to secure another European adventure after experiencing Europa Conference League group stage football this season.
