Rangers and Celtic Scottish Cup ties moved as television schedule for quarter-finals is announced

Hearts' Scottish Cup quarter-final with Rangers has been moved to 5.30pm on Saturday February 29 after being selected for television coverage.

The match at Tynecastle is arguably the tie of the round, and will be the evening game on Premier Sports.

Steven Gerrard's side lost on their last visit to Gorgie and the cup may well be their best chance of silverware this season after Celtic opened up a 10 point gap at the top of the Premiership.

The Hoops will also be in action that weekend, with their trip to St Johnstone to be played at 3pm on the Sunday.

All four ties will be shown live, with Hibs getting the Scottish Cup weekend underway when they meet Inverness at Easter Road on Friday February 28.

That will be a 7.45pm kick-off and is live on BBC Scotland.

The other tie is yet to be decided, as Motherwell and St Mirren needed a replay to decide the winner of their fifth round tie, as did Kilmarnock and Aberdeen.

That game will be played at 7.20pm on the Saturday and is live on BBC Scotland.
