Celtic vs Rangers kick off time set as Scottish Cup Final stands tall

Record Sport understands the SFA are sticking to the usual spot despite suggestions the Old Firm showdown on May 25 could be shifted to avoid a clash with the FA Cup Final down south. Hampden chiefs are determined to keep the regular slot following a fan backlash last season when Celtic’s win against Inverness Caley Thistle was bumped to 5.15pm to avoid going up against its English counterpart between Manchester rivals United and City.

The FA Cup are facing a repeat with the same sides involved and both are unwilling to kick-off at a later time due to travel issues. And that means the Old Firm and Manchester derby finals will go head to head. The BBC have rights to both finals - with ITV also showing the English showdown - along with TNT Sports.
