The Scottish Cup final between Celtic and Rangers will kick-off at 3pm on Saturday May 25.

Last season's showpiece event was moved to a 5.30pm start to avoid clashes with the FA Cup final in England.

The move was criticised by many clubs and fans.

However, the Scottish FA have confirmed this season's final at Hampden Park will begin at the traditional time.

A statement said: "This season - the 150th anniversary edition of the competition - has produced more unforgettable moments.

"This past weekend, Celtic defeated Aberdeen on penalties in a classic Semi-Final on Saturday before Rangers saw off Heart of Midlothian on Sunday to seal their place in the showpiece event.

"The Scottish Gas Women’s Scottish Cup Final will take place the following day, Sunday, 26 May."
