Hearts and Hibs drawn together in Scottish Cup semis with Edinburgh clubs set for Hampden showdown

Hearts and Hibs have been drawn together in the Scottish Cup semi-finals, with the Edinburgh clubs set for a Hampden showdown.

The Jambos booked their last-four spot with an impressive victory over Rangers at Tynecastle thanks to a Oliver Bozanic strike in the second half. Hibs thumped Inverness 5-2 at Easter Road to progress themselves with Adam Jackson, Scott Allan, Greg Docherty, Stephane Omeonga and Jamie Gullan all on the scoresheet.

And now the pair have been drawn together, with a spot in May's showpiece final at stake when they lock horns on the weekend of Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 April.

Celtic will face Aberdeen in the other last-four clash. Neil Lennon's side edged past St Johnstone earlier this afternoon while the Dons overcame St Mirren on Saturday.

Hearts and Hibs fans will no doubt be excited at the prospect of another Hampden derby, but they've got a midweek fixture to look forward to before then with the clubs squaring off in the Ladbrokes Premiership at Easter Road on Tuesday night.

We'll have all the latest build-up to the match here on Edinburgh Live.
