Heart of Midlothian's next meeting with Celtic will be televised after Sky Sports selected it for coverage.

Derek McInnes' side, fresh from beating the champions 2-1 away from home, next face them on Sunday January 25.

The Tynecastle clash has a 3pm kick-off and that remains unchanged, with the date and time not moving despite the TV pick.

League leaders Hearts have a 100 per cent record against the second-placed side after disposing of them by three goals to nil in Brendan Rodgers' final game in charge. Dane Murray's own goal was quickly cancelled out by Callum McGregor but the home side took control and Alexandros Kyziridis and Lawrence Shankland earned a well-deserved victory.



On Sunday, they disrupted Wilfried Nancy's start to life as Rodgers' successor. Claudio Braga handed Hearts a half-time lead before Oisin McEntee doubled the advatange and Kieran Tierney's late strike proved to be just a consolation.

That prevented a chance at the top of the table and left Hearts three points clear, though Celtic have a game in hand.

Both sides have big games to play before meeting at the end of next month. McInnes' men travel to Falkirk this week before hosting Rangers and then facing Hibs in a derby.

There is also a Glasgow derby over the festive period while Celtic have a cup final, European games and some tricky league encounters in that period.
