What channel is Hearts vs Celtic? Live stream, kick-off and TV details for Scottish Cup clash

The first encounter this week brought talk of heads rolling but calmness may prove key in this Scottish Cup pressure cooker.

It's set to be an enthralling occasion as Hearts host Celtic in the second quarter-final clash this weekend. Robbie Neilson has guided his team to two finals as boss but has never taken the ultimate step in the dugout, and the latest leap towards that could be taken against Ange Postecoglou's Hoops.

The Australian will be just as keen to claim this cup, with it proving all he needs to complete the clean sweep of major honours in Scotland. He already has the League Cup and there's a nine-point gap in the Premiership, with their 3-1 win over the Jambos on Wednesday prompting Neilson to say the Hoops' rivals need to have players 'decapitated' to get a red card in Glasgow. Heads aren't likely to roll in Edinburgh but the stakes are certainly different, and here is all you need to know ahead of the game.
