Is Hearts v Celtic on TV or live stream? How to watch the Scottish Cup Final that’s at Hampden

The Scottish Cup Final has kicked off at Hampden so you better start scrambling around for that remote control.

Yep, we’re expecting a fierce fight on the pitch and a calculated battle off it as Craig Levein goes head to head with Neil Lennon in the technical area.

Will Hearts have their name engraved on the old trophy come team time? They’ll have to see off Celtic’s treble treble-chasers of course.

Celtic are strong favourites but have already lost to the Jambos this season, a 1-0 win at Tynecastle back in August helping Hearts start the season in blistering form.

That has badly tailed off as the season has gone on, in large part because of injuries to just about every key player at some stage.

They can still end the season with silverware though. Not going to Hampden? Edinburgh Live has you covered on how to watch, ref details and match odds.

Be sure to double screen the action and follow all the build up and action via our live blog.

When is the game?

Saturday 25 May, kick-off 3pm.

Is the game on TV?

Yes, the final is being broadcast on BBC 1 and Premier Sports 1. BBC coverage in Scotland begins at 1.20pm. Viewers in England and Wales can receive the Scottish version of BBC1 via Channel 951 on Sky, Channel 862 on Virgin Media and Channel 973 on Freesat.

Subscribers to Hearts TV International and Celtic TV can watch the action from outside the UK and Ireland.

Who’s the ref?
