Hearts really need to find their way into the game.

It's reminding me of the way they started the Edinburgh derby, when Hibs punished them.

Steven Pressley will be so happy with the way his boys have started the game. Derek McInnes is getting a bit agitated.

Rangers have confirmed the signing of midfielder Tochi Chukwuani from Sturm Graz on a three-and-a-half year deal.

The 22-year-old was part of the Sturm side that beat Rangers in the Europa League and was sent off for a tackle on Callum McGregor when they lost to Celtic.

In 2022, a move to Serie A club Hellas Verona fell through because a medical examination found a "small heart defect".

"I'm super excited," he told club media. "Rangers are a huge club and I can't wait to hear the roar at Ibrox.

"It's a historic club with a huge fanbase. There are huge expectations, and this is something as a footballer you want to play in front of.

"It gives motivation every weekend to go and give 100% and do what you can to put smiles on people's faces."

Doesn't seem like he will be involved today.

Not the greatest watch, this, it must be said.

Weather could be playing a part. Doesn't look too fun out there.

Dundee 0-0 Hearts

Concern for Hearts as Cammy Devlin receives treatment and limps off with the medical team following a collision with Luke Graham.

He's trying to run it off and he's back on...

That Lawrence Shankland effort was his 53th this season, more than any other player in the Premiership.

Hearts' first real effort comes from Lawrence Shankland, but it isn't up to much as the striker drags wide on his weaker foot.

It's good play by Dundee again. Ethan Hamilton is absolutely everywhere, an old-school midfielder.

Dundee's gameplan is to sit in when Hearts have the ball, but whenever they have it they just want to get wide and get crosses in the box.

Cameron Congreve works a crossing opportunity, but this one loops high and straight into the arms of grateful Hearts keeper Alexander Schwolow.

A tough opening for the Jambos, who are yet to have an effort after 10 minutes.

Ethan Hamilton drives through the heart of... Hearts and it opens up.

But who's there? Cammy Devlin. What a tackle.

For the record, it's Jamie McCart whose playing at left-back for Hearts.

Dundee very much content with sitting in a low block in the opening minutes as Hearts knock it around.

Zero attacking threat from the league leaders so far.

A warning there for Hearts. The good thing is the fact it's happened so early.

They now know they might need to double up on Tony Yogane.

What a start that is from the hosts.

It's all so easy as a short free-kick is played to Tony Yogane, he drives to the byeline and crosses for Billy Koumetio, whose close-range header is saved brilliantly by Alexander Schwolow.

And we're off.

You can get involved in the debate on this page. Keep it PG.

Here come the teams at a gloomy Dens.

The away end is packed.

Hearts head coach Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "Like most teams this week, it's been a bit of a challenge to train on grass.

"Harry [Milne] training indoors went over on his ankle, but he was running yesterday. We've had him scanned and hopefully he won't be out too long.

"Stephen Kingsley felt his groin yesterday and Jamie McCart comes in. We just need him to play the way he trains.

"The last time we played [Dundee] they were probably suffering from a lack of confidence and we won quite comfortably. Dundee are in a completely different place. It's important we focus on ourselves."

There's been plenty of excitement among Hearts fans following the long-awaited arrival of Islam Chesnokov.

Can the winger prove to be a difference-maker for Derek McInnes in their Premiership title pursuit?

The new signing will start from the bench this afternoon, so we will have to wait a bit longer before we know if Jamestown have struck gold again.

Dundee: McCracken, Astley, Koumetio, Graham, Wright, Hamilton, Jones, Congreve, F Robertson, Yogane, Hay.

Substitutes: O'Hara, Ingram, C Robertson, Digby, Acquah, Samuels, Murray, Reilly, Bevan.

Hearts: Schwolow, Altena, Halkett, McCart, Findlay, Devlin, Baningime, Magnusson, Braga, Shankland, Kyziridis.

Hearts continue to respond well to their setbacks, beating Livingston last time out after their festive derby defeat.

In fact, they have won four of their past five league games, with the loss at Hibs the outlier in that mini run.
