What channel is Rangers v Hearts on? Kick-off time, TV details, live stream, referee and VAR

Rangers host Hearts in the penultimate round of Scottish Premiership fixtures in what promises to be a poignant occasion for the home side at Ibrox Stadium on Wednesday night.

The match will see five established Rangers players say their farewells to supporters in the final home match of the season following confirmation they will depart the club at the end of the campaign when their contracts expire.

Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent, Allan McGregor, Filip Helander and Scott Arfield are all leaving the club this summer with 41-year-old goalkeeper McGregor set to be rewarded with a testimonial match against Newcastle United on July 18.

Rangers also look set to parade a new signing at the fixture with former Norwich City midfielder Kieran Dowell reportedly be set for an Ibrox unveiling.

Rangers have nothing left to play for with Celtic already crowned champions but they will be keen to sign off with a win in front of their home fans ahead of a summer rebuild as they look to bounce back from a trophyless season.

Hearts, meanwhile, arrive at Ibrox still clinging onto slender hopes of finishing third in the Premiership table after coming from behind to defeat Aberdeen 2-1 at Tynecastle last weekend. Hearts still trail the Dons by two points and will need to win at Ibrox to guarantee taking it to the final day of the season with Aberdeen able to secure third place should they defeat St Mirren at Pittodrie and Hearts lose or draw.

The odds are stacked against the Jambos with Rangers having won the three previous meetings this season without conceding a goal.
