A general view of the Scottish Cup trophy at Hampden Park

Aberdeen and Celtic‘s Scottish Cup semi-final clash will be played on April 12 at Hampden Park, and will be shown live on Premier Sports TV with a 3pm kick-off.

Hearts and Hibs meet in the other last-four fixture on April 11 at the same venue - despite the usual clamour from fans for the tie to be played at BT Murrayfield in Edinburgh.

The Capital rivals met on league duty earlier this week with Daniel Stendel’s side running out convincing 3-1 winners at Easter Road.

The all-Edinburgh showdown has been fixed for a 12.15pm kick-off, and will be shown live on Premier Sports and BBC Scotland.
