THE Edinburgh Derby and Celtic's trip to face Rangers at Ibrox are among eight matches to have been picked for live television coverage.

On Monday the SPFL confirmed which games will be broadcast between 2 March and 8 April. 

Hibernian's clash with Hearts will take place on Friday March 9 at 7.45pm, with the clash between the Gers and the Bhoys taking place two days later on Sunday 11 March at 12pm. 

A top-of-the-table Championship meeting between Dundee United and St Mirren, Hibs' trip to St Johnstone and Motherwell's home games against the two Glasgow giants have also been selected.

Two games in April have been confirmed, with Sky Sports showing Hearts' trip to Dundee before Hamilton Accies host Celtic a week later live on BT Sport
