What Hearts fans had to say about opening day Dundee clash as Championship fixtures are published

Hearts fans have been reacting on social media to news they'd be facing Dundee on the opening day of the Championship season.

And most supporters shared a similar sentiment.

The Jambos will host James McPake's side at Tynecastle on Saturday, 17 October.

It was ultimately Dundee's decisive vote, of course, which led to the SPFL league-ending resolution passing back in April.

And after learning of the fixtures, David Young couldn't resist tweeting: "Is that definite, or can Dundee change their mind?"

Jambo Vic posted: "Hammer Dundee then call the league."

Brian Chapman added: "You couldn't make this up."

@lynne_thomson2 said: "Inevitable this would happen... wish I put money on it."

@aaronstuart51 commented: "Come on let's put 6 past them."

@bobbyc749 tweeted: "f****** yes."

@tartanjambo_x added: "When are we going to find out when fans are allowed back at the games? Can't wait to get right behind Hearts to support them."

After the Dundee match Robbie Neilson's side face a trip to Arbroath on 24 October, before a home match against Alloa is scheduled for 31 October. However this match will be pushed back to make way for the Scottish Cup semi-final against Hibs at Hampden.

Hearts will finish their Championship season with a trip to Stark's Park to play Raith Rovers on the evening of April 30.
