When is the 2024 Scottish Cup final? Details for Celtic v Rangers - with kick-off time yet to be confirmed
Celtic and Rangers will contest the Scottish Cup final next month after the Ibrox club secured their passage with a 2-0 win over Hearts on Sunday.
Nigerian striker Cyriel Dessers was the hero for Rangers against the Jambos, netting on four minutes and then again on 77 minutes. The early goal helped settle the Gers after a challenging past week following defeat at Ross County in the Premiership and then a draw at Dundee. Hearts posed little threat until the second half, when they were much more competitive, but Dessers fired home from close range to put the outcome to bed and maintain the Ibrox club’s unbeaten record at Hampden over the capital outfit.

Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic team are the holders and booked their place in the final by defeating Aberdeen 6-5 on penalties following a 3-3 draw at Hampden on Saturday. They will put their trophy on the line back at Hampden on Saturday, May 25, although a kick-off time has yet to be confirmed. Last season’s Scottish Cup final started at the unusually later time of 5.30pm to avoid a TV clash with the FA Cup final.
