Hearts today learnt that it will kick-off the Clydesdale Bank Premier League season at home to St Johnstone on Saturday 14th August, here at Tynecastle.

And the New Year derby is back in Gorgie once more, with city rivals Hibs set to travel here to the west side of the city on Saturday 1st January 2011.

Of particular note to supporters in today's fixture release is a poignant home game set for the weekend of Saturday 9th April against Motherwell. The following day marks the 125th anniversary of Tynecastle's first ever match and a very special weekend of activity is to be announced at the start of the season.

The men in maroon will play three of their first five games away from Edinburgh with matches at Hamilton (21st August), Celtic (11th September), and Inverness (18th September).

The remaining home game in that opening gambit is against Dundee United on Sunday 29th August. This game has already been moved owing to the Tannadice club's participation in the UEFA Europa League.

This year's first Edinburgh derby will take place at Easter Road on Saturday 6th August, with the other scheduled clash set for Saturday 2nd April.

At Christmas Hearts will be on the road with games at Kilmarnock set for Boxing Day (Sunday 26th December) and at St Mirren (Wednesday 29th December).

Fixture 33, the final scheduled before the league splits, is against Inverness up at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium on Saturday 16th April - meaning that this year's highland sojourns will be conducted in the relative warmth of autumn and spring!

The fixture list is released today without any TV selections, and fixtures are subject to change either for broadcasting or operational reasons. As ever, any changes will be communicated first via heartsfc.co.uk.

Hearts News will have reaction from manager Jim Jefferies, today.
