A huge moment in this game, just before the break.
Ryan Lee comes back from the screen and shows Alexander Schwolow a red.
Tony Yogane was onside and the Hearts keeper clearly fouls the Dundee winger just outside the box, denying a goalscoring opportunity.

Oh wow.
The referee is off to the monitor...
Dundee 0-1 Hearts
VAR are having a good look at this.
If Tony Yogane is onside, the Hearts keeper could go...
Dundee 0-1 Hearts
The offside flag saves Alexander Schwolow, who appears to trip Dundee's Tony Yogane on the edge of the Hearts box.
The winger does look like he was off, but it was tight.

Dundee have caused chaos with their set-pieces, but this deep free-kick from Callum Jones is right into Alexander Schwolow's gloves.

Eh, never, Peter.

When was the last time you saw a free-kick or throw being taken from the exact place it should have been?

Jordi Altena slips in Alexandros Kyziridis, who aims for the far corner with a fierce strike.
Jon McCracken gets fingertips to it. Fine save.

Sorry our football is a farce - the free-kick taken by Hearts about 10 yards ahead and potentially a moving ball - yet VAR says it’s OK? What’s the point of the rules?
Iain
Absolutely horrendous refereeing again... 15-yard advantage at the free-kick.

Dundee 0-1 Hearts
Callum Jones can't keep a half-volley down at the edge of the Hearts box.
Over it goes, but that's half a chance.

Dundee goalie John McCracken is rooted as Lawrence Shankland sends a wild long-range shot to the top-right corner.
Not far away at all.
Dundee 0-1 Hearts
We've just seen a replay of the quick free-kick from Hearts in the lead-up to their goal.
Hmm, it's difficult to tell if the ball had totally stopped rolling and it's not taken from the exact position where the foul occurred.
Dundee 0-1 Hearts
Hearts have a record of W5, D0, L0 when scoring the opening goal away from home in the Premiership this season.
Dundee 0-1 Hearts
Panic in the Hearts box as Dundee look for an instant response with a deep free-kick.
The leaders survive, just about.

Former Hearts forward on BBC Sportsound
Hearts have got players that can punish you, but they have been nowhere near it in this game.
The one time they do go forward, they get a little bit of luck.

First Hearts shot on target = goal.
Claudio Braga drills a low shot from 20 yards in off the far post, but Dundee are furious.
They feel the ball is rolling as Cammy Delvin takes a quick free-kick in the build-up.
Ryan Astley takes a booking for protesting.

Hearts boasting over 70% possession but are yet to make the Dundee keeper work.
Dundee 0-0 Hearts
An excellent defensive header from Ethan Hamilton clears a dangerous Alexandros Kyziridis cross.
The resulting Hearts corner comes to nothing. Frustrating for the Jambos.

This will be the second Scottish Premiership match between Aberdeen and Rangers this week, after the two sides also met on January 6th. It’s the first time both sides have faced the same opponent consecutively in the league within a single season since April/May 2023, when they also faced each other twice in a row.
Rangers have won both of their last two league meetings with Aberdeen by an aggregate score of 6-0, but haven’t won three in a row without conceding against the Dons in the top-flight since August 2011.
Aberdeen have lost each of their last three league matches, all without scoring, but haven’t lost four in a row without finding the net since December 2010.
After only winning five of their opening 14 league games of the season (D8 L1), Rangers have since won six of their last seven (L1), and are looking to win five successive Scottish Premiership matches for the first time since February 2025.
Since Danny Röhl joined the club in October, Rangers have the most wins (10), points (32), and goals (24) of any Scottish Premiership side, while only Motherwell have conceded fewer goals (4) in the competition than the Gers (8) in this time.
