Kevin Clancy will referee his first game since his controversial performance in Celtic's draw with Hibs at Easter Road.
The whistler refused to give the Hoops two penalties before he opted not to send off Olivier Ntcham in a game where he also sent off home boss Paul Heckingbottom.
A week later he was not involved in any SPFL matches.
Referee Kevin Clancy left out of Premiership fixtures after Hibs vs Celtic
Despite being out of the firing line, he will now be thrown straight back into the limelight at Tynecastle in the middle for Hearts against Rangers.
Don Robertson takes charge of Celtic vs Ross County at Parkhead on Saturday.
Meanwhile Steven McLean is in charge of Kilmarnock for the first time since then-Killie manager Steve Clarke slaughtered him for the "worst refereeing performance" he'd ever seen back last season.
The ref sent off three Rugby Park players in a loss to Aberdeen and was criticised heavily by Clarke.
Full list: Celtic vs Ross County (Don Robertson), Hamilton vs Hibs (John Beaton), Kilmarnock vs Livingston (Steven McLean), Motherwell vs Aberdeen (Euan Anderson), St Mirren vs St Johnstone (Nick Walsh), Hearts vs Rangers (Kevin Clancy).
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
