The dates and kick-off times have been confirmed for the Scottish Cup semi-finals next month featuring Hearts versus Hibs and Celtic versus theRangers. It’s actually the first time ever that the two Edinburgh sides, Celtic and a club playing out of Ibrox have all qualified for the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup in the same season. A pretty remarkable stat that one!
As expected the Edinburgh Derby will be played first and that will take place at Hampden on Saturday 16 April with the early kick-off of 12.15pm, to accommodate the sponsor and subscription broadcaster Premier Sports.
Then on Sunday 17 April Celtic will take on theRangers in the second semi-final, once again at Hampden and this time the kick-off time is 2pm.
Both games will be live on Premier Sports and we will give you ticket information as soon as it is available.
April is going to be some month.
Celtic Historian David Potter has told the story so far of Celtic v Rangers/ theRangers in Scottish Cup semi-finals today on The Celtic Star and it’s well worth a read. Can’t recall what happened by did a fire alarm or something go off in theRangers end in this one? They seemed to head for the exts sharpish. No idea why…
