Preston North End’s preparations for next season are well underway, with the club announcing their third pre-season friendly so far.
The Lilywhites will host Heart of Midlothian to Deepdale on Wednesday 20th July, with a 7:45pm kick-off.
Hearts will certainly be a tough opponent for Ryan Lowe’s side after finishing third in the Scottish Premiership last season, qualifying for a spot in Europe.
Ticket details for the fixture will be confirmed at a later date.
Preston’s pre-season schedule so far consists of matches against Bamber Bridge (A), Accrington Stanley (A) and Hearts (H).
