Hearts will play next season's UEFA Champions League matches at Murrayfield.
Hearts have revealed they play next season's UEFA Champions League matches at Murrayfield.Hearts qualified for the Champions League by finishing second to Celtic in the SPL last term.
The Edinburgh club will use Scotland's Rugby Union headquarters for their Champions League encounters rather than their own Tynecastle ground.
Hearts have used Murrayfield in the past for some Uefa Cup encounters and with Tynecastle's capacity only 17,500 they are keen for more fans to see them in Champions League action.
Hearts chairman and acting chief executive Roman Romanov said: "One of our main considerations has been how we accommodate so many supporters and give them the continuity that is so important when they are planning for our European campaign.
"Despite the natural attractions of Tynecastle, we do believe that our fans will come out in large numbers for our first European game this season at Murrayfield and there is certain to be a great atmosphere in the stadium.
"If successful in the second qualifying round of the Champions League, we would then hold all our subsequent European home ties - whether that be Champions League or Uefa Cup - at Murrayfield.
"The facilities at Murrayfield are also much more appropriate for European football and we are delighted to have negotiated a suitable deal with Scottish Rugby in order to showcase Hearts, Edinburgh and indeed Scotland to the rest of the world."
Meanwhile, Julien Brellier has agreed a new deal at Hearts.
The Frenchman has impressed at Tynecastle and Hearts have taken up the option to extend his stay for another year.
Brellier's agent Mauricio de Giorgis revealed that they are hoping to secure a pay rise for the player when they discuss the new deal.
De Giorgis said: "Julien is ecstatic to be staying with the club because he likes playing with the team and enjoys life in Edinburgh," De Giorgis told the Daily Record.
"However, my brother Giorgio and I plan to come to Edinburgh next week to discuss a longer contract for the player and also a little bit more money.
"Hearts got him cheap last season because of certain situations but now he has proved himself and deserves recognition."
