Aberdeen, Celtic, Hearts and Hibs fans have all discovered when and where they can expect to watch their teams contest the Scottish Cup semi-finals.

The four sides will play the long-awaited semi-final matches of the 2019/20 domestic cup competition in four weeks. Aberdeen will look to take the Scottish Cup away from Celtic Park for the first time in three seasons when they face the Hoops.

Meanwhile in the other match it’s an Edinburgh derby as Hearts face Hibs in a mouthwatering tie.

Dates have been confirmed for these two matches. Hibs will take on Hearts at 5PM on Halloween, with the game set to be broadcast on BBC Scotland and Premier Sports.

Aberdeen v Celtic will take place the following day on November 1 at 2:30PM. This game will only be televised on Premier Sports, meaning Celtic and Dons supporters will need a Premier Sports pass or package to watch the match.

These games will almost definitely take place behind closed doors, having initially been pushed back in the hope supporters could return to stadia in time for the showpiece events.
