Hibs v St Johnstone: Scottish Cup Final kick-off time, how to watch, match odds, form guide

St Johnstone and Hibs meet at Hampden for the second time this season – but this time the Scottish Cup is at stake on Saturday.

Both were semi-finalists in the League Cup earlier this year and Saints went on to life the trophy and are now seeking a cup double – unprecedented in the club’s history.

Hibs last win the cup in 2016, two years after the Saints and both sides are keen to add their name back onto the trophy.

Fans were almost allowed back through the turnstiles for the showpiece event – but Glasgow’s tier rating and restrictions mean all supporters will be watching at home on TV for the second Scottish Cup final in a row.
