Hearts fans will be able to buy tickets – priced at £15 for adults and £10 for concessions - at the Tynecastle Ticket Office for this game. The club will announce in due course when they will go on sale.

The Jambos have been no strangers to the Emerald Isle. They were last there for pre-season in the summer of 2017 and undertook a similar itinerary, playing St Pat's Athletic before heading north to face Linfield at Windsor Park.
