JUST IN: 2024 Scottish Cup final; Celtic v Rangers kick-off time fixed and TV details set.

Following their confirmation for the season finale over the weekend, Celtic and Rangers will square off in the Scottish Cup final for the first time in twenty-two years next month.

After a 3-3 draw, holders Celtic defeated Aberdeen 6-5 on penalties in the opening semi-final at Hampden, cementing the contest as one of the competition’s iconic matches. A day later, Rangers and Hearts played a less spectacular but no less significant match as Philippe Clement’s team defeated the Jambos 2-0 to set up a clash with their Old Firm opponents.

Thus, to determine who will hoist the trophy, Celtic and Rangers will reassemble on the afternoon of May 25. Both sets of supporters will be happy that the game begins at 3 p.m., as last season’s Scottish Cup final between Celtic and Inverness Caledonian Thistle began at 5.30 p.m. to avoid a TV conflict with the FA Cup final. The competition’s primary broadcast partners, BBC Scotland and Premier Sports, will both show the game live.

Before the Scottish Cup final, there are five rounds of Premiership games scheduled. On Saturday, May 11 at 12.30 p.m., Celtic and Rangers will play a league encounter at Parkhead. In the race for the championship, Celtic leads Rangers by three points at this point and has a five-point advantage in goal differential as they look to win it all again.
