Scottish Premiership team news

Beni Baningime and fellow midfielder Calem Nieuwenhof are the only Hearts players unavailable for Saturday’s opening Scottish Premiership match with Rangers.

Defenders Daniel Oyegoke and Gerald Taylor, midfielders Yan Dhanda and Blair Spittal, forward Musa Drammeh and versatile James Penrice could make competitive debuts for the club while new goalkeeper Ryan Fulton is a back-up option for Zander Clark and Craig Gordon.

Versatile player Dujon Sterling misses out for the visitors but could return against Champions League qualifying opponents Dynamo Kyiv in Poland on Tuesday.

Rangers could field new signings like defenders Jefte and Clinton Nsiala and midfielder Connor Barron but winger Vaclav Cerny is unlikely to start.
