Heart of Midlothian's Europa League play-off decider with Zurich will be shown live on BBC Scotland and iPlayer.

Robbie Neilson's side trail the Swiss champions 2-1 going into Thursday's second leg at Tynecastle. The winner of the tie will enter the group stage.

The beaten side will drop into the Europa Conference League group stage.

Television coverage starts at 19:45 BST, with the game kicking off at 20:00. There will also be BBC Radio Scotland Extra commentary, from 19:00.

Hearts lost 2-0 away to Celtic in Sunday's Scottish Premiership match.

Midfielder Peter Haring says Hearts "have to use the crowd, especially early in the game" against Zurich.

"I think it affects every team that comes to Tynecastle," said the Austrian. "I know what it's going to be like - they won't.

"Our supporters, especially in big games, always put pressure on the away team and help us. We have to use the crowd, especially early in the game.

"We will see what happens, but for an away team it's definitely not a great place to be and for us an even better one."
