Five of the past six Scottish Premiership matches between Heart of Midlothian and Dundee United have been won by the away side, the exception a 1-1 draw at Tynecastle in November 2025. The last home win in this fixture was by Hearts in February 2023 (3-1).
Dundee United are unbeaten in three away games against Hearts in the Scottish Premiership (W2 D1), facing a different Hearts manager each time (Steven Naismith, Neil Critchley, Derek McInnes).
Hearts have lost their past two league games, last losing three in a row when they suffered five defeats in a row in August and September 2024. They have not started a season with two defeats since 2009-10 under manager Csaba Laszlo.
Dundee United have not kept a clean sheet in any of their past 17 away Scottish Premiership matches, since a 2-0 win at Dundee in August 2025. Since the start of last season, Dundee United have kept the fewest away clean sheets of any side in the league (1).
Only Rangers' Emmanuel Fernandez (15) won more aerial duels on MD1 of this season's Scottish Premiership than Dundee United's Michael Forbes (8). He also ranked first among his team-mates for headed clearances (7) and successful passes (32) in their 1-1 draw with Rangers.

Celtic defender Auston Trusty admits he missed the start of pre-season as his father was in hospital.
The centre-back made it to the round of 16 with the United States in their home World Cup and even scored in their 3-2 group stage defeat by Turkey.
Trusty, 27, was in the starting line-up for champions Celtic's 1-0 opening Scottish Premiership victory over Dundee on Monday - less than a month on from his final World Cup appearance.
But the defender admits there were some off-field issues that held up his return to Glasgow.
"Unfortunately, I finished the World Cup and then I had some family stuff go on with my father in the hospital," Trusty explained.

It has been a long and difficult 16 months for Jota after he was helped off the pitch at Tannadice and left in crutches as the rest of his teammates celebrated a **** le win in the City of Discovery.
Shaun Maloney, who is taking media duties in the absence of Martin O'Neill who is recovering at home after surgery, revealed that the plan is to gradually nurse Jota back to full fitness, but didn't commit to an actual comeback timeframe.
Jota has endured an agonising 16 months, with his ACL injury suffering more than a few setbacks, with some supporters worrying that his career could indeed be over.

That news has caused concern and an outpouring of admiration for the legendary Celtic manager who came back last season in Celtic's hour of need to deliver the Scottish Premiership **** le and also the Scottish Cup.
"It came as a shock when I heard the news. I heard through my agent what was going on," Stephen Welsh stated, as reported by Daily Record.
"The whole Celtic family will be extremely worried at this time. He's not normal in the sense that he's 74 and he's still managing one of the biggest clubs in the world. That doesn't really happen.
"I'm sure he'll be pulling through and he'll be fine and he'll get back in the dugout as soon as possible. I'm sure he'll be okay and I'm sure he'll be raring to go for hopefully another successful season for the boys."

On the eve of what is already a huge game in Rangers' season, they confirmed the signing of a player to fill a position in which they have been lacking ever since the departure of Vaclav Cerny.
In Daisuke Yokota, they have a left-footed right winger who they will hope can provide the creativity on that side that was missing from last season's failed ***** le bid.
The addition of the ***** anese forward, who recorded five goals and four ***** ists on loan at Bundesliga 2 side Hannover last season, will go some way to injecting an attacking threat that Rangers supporters have been crying out for.
They continue to be linked with others in that position, including the Celtic target Fares Ghedjemis, who would presumably be first-choice if they were able to get that over the line but options are definitely required on the evidence of the opening league game against Dundee United but also all of last season.
They do have options on the other flank, but Djeidi Gassama was hooked at half-time at Tannadice and after a promising start to his Ibrox career this time last year, has failed to build on that. Meanwhile, Findlay Curtis may not be deemed ready to take on the mantle of a first pick as Rangers try to ***** emble a ***** le-winning squad.

David Friel at The Scottish Sun reports that the recently relegated English side are looking at being third time lucky as they come back to Celtic will their highest bid so far.
Nottingham Forest's £25m million bid for Engels in the closing day of the January transfer window sets the benchmark price that Celtic will be looking for and West Ham, who are keen to bring in the Celtic midfielder as soon as possible, will now have to match that earlier bid if they are to get the green light from Celtic for the the transfer.
Engels has other admirers including Roma and perhaps Forest will return to the table as the window progresses. If there is Premier League interest as the window progresses, Engels, who has already agreed personal terms with the Hammers, may opt for that rather than a season in the Championship.

Celtic have been told to pay €9.5m to sign Farès Ghedjemis. The Algerian winger was name checked by Martin O'Neill last week as a potential summer arrival as he looks to strengthen his squad.
According to transfer journalist Sebastian Vidal, Celtic have been told to increase their offer for the winger by €2.5m.
Celtic are expected to return for Ghedjemis but Frosinone are sticking to their valuation of the player. In any case, Celtic are going to have to pay more than they've currently offered for the winger.
Celtic have added Camilo Duran and Kasper Høgh to bolster their attacking options with the frontmen replacing Daizen Maeda and Kelechi Iheanacho. It was clear after the win over Dundee that Celtic needed an injection of pace into the wide areas to freshen up the squad. Ghedjemis' performances in Serie B caught the attention of Celtic in January but no deal was forthcoming. Now, Celtic need to get deals over the line to make sure that they are in top form for the UCL doubleheader against LASK.

Supporters may find the comments familiar after the Irishman spent much of last season downplaying the prospect of remaining in charge, only to later commit to the role on a permanent basis.
Even with another Premiership campaign now under way, O'Neill suggested he is not looking much further ahead than the months in front of him.
His remarks come as Celtic continue to navigate a hectic summer of transfer business.

After his first outing for Celtic, record signing Kasper Hogh joked that he needs some "shooting practice".
The Denmark international played the full game as Martin O'Neill's side beat Dundee 1-0 at Parkhead to kick off their Premiership **** le defence.
But how did Hogh fare on his first outing for his new club?
Having cost a reported £11m from Bodo/Glimt, Hogh will ultimately be judged on goals but he was unable to get off the mark at the first time of asking, although it is clearly too early to judge a player who only joined last week.
He generated an expected goals (xG) of 0.88, the highest of any Celtic player including goalscorer Benjamin Nygren (0.86).

On a tough night at the very start of a new season, against a dogged Dundee, it was a familiar name that helped Celtic usher in victory.
No, not Benjamin Nygren - last season's top scorer and the man who nodded in the winner to kickstart the Scottish Premiership defence - but Kieran Tierney, the man who crossed the ball for the Swede to head in.
The left-back has arguably been Celtic's best player since the return of Martin O'Neill in January, but his renaissance has gone a little under the radar.
Perhaps that's because we expect so much from the man who once fetched Celtic a reported £25m in a move to ***** nal.
Regardless, he still registered 12 ***** ists last season, the most of any Celtic player, and scored six goals from defence.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says the Celtic "pressure cooker" is the ideal environment for him to thrive.
The England international signed a short-term deal with the Parkhead club in February and helped them win a league and Scottish Cup double last season.
The 32-year-old signed a new deal earlier this summer and is hungry for more success, starting with Monday's Scottish Premiership opener against Dundee.
"When the opportunity to come here last year came up, the fact that it was going to be a challenge, I really enjoyed that," he said.
"The idea of just trying to do whatever I could to give some experience or, at times, a few moments of quality that could help the lads go on to achieve what we did. The way it ended up was like dreamland stuff.

A search resumed Thursday, July 30, for a 10-year-old girl who remains missing after she and two other children, including a now-deceased 10-year-old boy, entered the Passaic River in northern New Jersey.
The boy's body was recovered around 10 p.m. on Wednesday, July 29, several hours after emergency crews were called to the river near Pulaski Park and Dundee Island Park in Passaic, according to Passaic Mayor Hector Lora. Authorities continued searching overnight and planned to resume water operations Thursday morning if conditions required crews to pause overnight efforts.
An 11-year-old girl made it safely out of the river, the New Jersey Bergen Record, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported. According to her account, her 10-year-old brother may have saved her life by pushing her toward safety before he went under the water, CBS News reported.
Investigators are still working to determine how the three children ended up in the river. Lora said officials' priority remains locating the missing girl and supporting the children's families.
The body of the 10-year-old boy was found about 30 feet from where the children entered the river, officials said. As crews continued searching for the missing girl, the operation shifted from a rescue mission to a recovery effort.

Captain Jason Holt has urged newly-promoted St Johnstone to show what they are capable of and "flourish" on their return to the Scottish Premiership.
Each of the previous three Championship winners – Dundee, Dundee United and Falkirk – went on to finish in the top six in their first season back in the Premiership.
Holt will lead Saints out for their league opener at home to Kilmarnock on Sunday.
"Obviously the teams that have come up in previous years have done fantastically well," said the midfielder.
"You look at Falkirk last year, they have done amazing, and obviously that'd be great.

Sheffield Wednesday have signed goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer on a one-year deal and Hull City striker Mason Burstow on a season-long loan deal.
Maynard-Brewer, 27, was a free agent after leaving Dundee United earlier this summer.
Burstow, 22, spent last season on loan in League One with Bolton and scored 12 goals in 53 appearances as they won promotion to the Championship.
"After a breakout season last year with Bolton Wanderers, Mason is a terrific signing for us," sporting director Simon Wilson told the club website.
Maynard-Brewer, who made 70 league appearances for Charlton before moving to Dundee United in January, is the second goalkeeper to join the Owls in as many days after Connal Trueman signed on Thursday.

We asked for your views on head coach Steven Pressley signing a new deal with Dundee.
Here is a selection of your replies:
Richie: Delighted to see him sign another contract. Would have liked more commitment from club and Steven with longer deal, but it clearly suits both parties. I like what I see with Pressley, Dundee need guys like him.
Craig: I like him. He's progressing the club and has an eye for a player. Look at how much Luke Graham improved over last season. Many young players improving under his guidance too. I hope we bring in a few and we can look forward to a couple of decent seasons with Mr Pressley at the helm.
Jim: The fans have warmed to Steven after a job well done in the end last season. Don't think the feeling is mutual though and feel like Pressley still holds a grudge for the murmurs of discontent at the beginning of last season. Let's home he can get over it and we all improve as one this season.

Zac Sapsford is loving the influx of players from down under at Tannadice.
The Australian striker joined Dundee United last summer and now has company in fellow countrymen Daniel Bennie, Lachlan Rose and Joshua Rawlins, plus New Zealander Jesse Randall.
"I am shocked at how many we are getting, it is amazing," said 23-year-old Sapsford.
"I am always happy to have more Australians here, it makes you feel a bit more at home and hearing that familiar accent is always nice.
"They are going to be good players for us this season as well so it will be amazing."

Sheffield Wednesday have signed goalkeeper Ashley Maynard-Brewer on a one-year deal.
The 27-year-old was a free agent after leaving Dundee United earlier this summer.
He started his career with Charlton and made 70 league appearances for the Addicks before joining the Scottish Premiership side on a short-term deal in January.
"We believe he will be a great addition to our squad and add important competition to our goalkeeping ranks as we prepare for the challenges ahead," sporting director Simon Wilson told the club website.
Maynard-Brewer is the second goalkeeper to join the Owls in as many days after Connal Trueman signed on Thursday.

Derek McInnes will officially begin his reign as Rangers boss with a trip to Tannadice Park on Friday night. Despite snapping up seven new names, the Scotsman is expected to be backed with further additions before the window is slammed shut next month. But the focus must be on the upcoming clash with Dundee United, as a victory on the road should boost the Gers ahead of their crucial Europa League qualifier against Jagiellonia Białystok.
Although their most recent encounter finished 4-2 in favour of Rangers, a last-gasp spot-kick from Nedim Bajrami saw them escape defeat when they clashed heads in Dundee back in December. It won't be a stroll in the park for the Glasgow giants, and it remains to be seen whether McInnes replicates last season's tactical mastery while in charge of Hearts.
The Light Blues have replaced Jack Butland with Ivor Pandur, as the former Hull City goalkeeper has been roped in as the new 'number 1'. Veteran Liam Kelly would continue as the understudy to the Croatian following his contract renewal earlier this summer.

James Tavernier's departure has left a massive void down the right-hand side. Ross McCrorie has returned to his boyhood club, but the gaffer should rely on Dujon Sterling, who has impressed as a fullback in their pre-season outings. Ben Godfrey, snapped up on a season-long loan from Atalanta, is expected to feature alongside Emmanuel Fernandez in the heart of the backline. Tuur Rommens has been a revelation since his January arrival, and his presence on the left would offer a perfect balance between defence and attack.

Lawrence Shankland says being named Rangers captain has exceeded the dream he had of playing for his boyhood team.
The 30-year-old striker only joined the club two months ago from Hearts, where he also wore the armband and scored 88 goals in 171 games.
The Scotland forward succeeds previous long-serving captain James Tavernier, who led the Ibrox side to a Europa League final and won the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup and League Cup during his 11 years in Govan.
The news comes two days before Derek McInnes' side starts their league campaign at Dundee United on Friday (20:00 BST).
"As a lifelong supporter, it was a dream to be here in the first place, but to get the opportunity to captain the club is a huge honour," Shankland said.

They have been separated for more than a decade by just 40 metres.
Now two clubs in south Wales believe they may finally have the most local rivalry in British football.
Nottingham Forest and Notts County, divided only by the River Trent, are the closest senior professional rivals in England.
Even less ****** e - only 0.17 miles (272m) - separates Dundee's Dens Park and Dundee United's Tannadice Park.
But when Cwmbran Celtic host Cwmbran Town on Tuesday evening for their first meeting in 16 years - in the third tier of Welsh football - it could be the shortest distance of the lot separating their home grounds.
