He will get his first experience of the Edinburgh derby when they welcome Hibernian to Tynecastle Park on October 4.

Hearts then face a trip to their city rivals on December 27, live on Sky Sports, with the final game between the sides before the split scheduled to be played in Gorgie on February 11.

McInnes left Kilmarnock at the end of last season to take charge at Hearts and he will make his return to Rugby Park on October 18 for their first meeting of the season.

They welcome champions Celtic to Tynecastle Park in their following game on October 25 with the Hearts fans hoping to secure a return to the top-six after a disappointing season which saw two head coaches, Steven Naismith and Neil Critchley, leave the club.
