Rangers vs Hearts LIVE score and goal updates from the Scottish Cup Final

It's been an energy-sapping epic season in Scotland this year.

But now the players must go once more unto the breach to land the prize of the oldest knockout trophy in world football.

Yep, the Scottish Cup in on the line at Hampden. Rangers simply must lift it or they will stand accused of throwing away so much promise.

For Hearts, who have already secured guaranteed European group stage football, the pressure is perhaps less burdening.

But don't think for a moment Robbie Neilson will be carefree. He, like Giovanni van Bronckhorst, will be determined to lift what would be Hearts' first trophy in 10 years.

It's set to be an intriguing battle where psychology will be front and centre.

Who will get the nod to start? How will Rangers react to the suffering of Seville?
