Is Falkirk vs Hearts on TV? Channel, stream and PPV details for Premier Sports Cup clash

Falkirk will look to provide a tricky opponent for Hearts after their start to the Championship season in this afternoon's Premier Sports Cup tie.

The Jambos make the trip to the Falkirk Stadium in today's cup clash but do so having just been comfortably beaten by Dundee, 3-1, in their first away game of the season last weekend. Steven Naismith has since accepted blame for that afternoon and now he'll hope his players can bounce back with a victory on the road.

Former Tynecastle boss John McGlynn's side, meanwhile, have began their season in the second tier on fire with wins over Queen's Park and Dunfermline and will be a potential banana skin for their Premiership foes. But is the game on TV? Who is the ref? Football Scotland has you covered.
