Rangers vs Celtic Scottish Cup semi final date revealed as Inverness and Falkirk get Saturday Hampden slot

Defending champions Rangers and treble-chasing Celtic will meet at Hampden on Sunday, April 30 in their Scottish Cup semi-final clash.

Viaplay have revealed the Glasgow giants are on for a 1:30pm kick offwith Inverness Caley Thistle and Falkirk meeting at the National Stadium the previous day at 12:15pm, in a repeat of the 2015 final, for a place in the June 3 showpiece.

The Old Firm clash will be the second of three derby meetings to end the season with a Scottish Premiership clash at Celtic Park on April 8 and a post-split league fixture at Ibrox.
