Scottish Cup: BBC to show Aberdeen v Celtic semi-final
- Published
Scottish Cup holders Celtic meet Aberdeen at lunchtime on 20 April
The Aberdeen v Celtic Scottish Cup semi-final is to be broadcast on BBC One Scotland, with a 12:30 BST kick-off on Saturday, 20 April.
Rangers meet Heart of Midlothian on the following day at 15:00 and both ties take place at Hampden Park.
There will be an even split of tickets for Sunday's semi-final.
However, Aberdeen failed with their request for a similar allocation and will receive 19,000, with Celtic taking around 25,000 supporters.
Expressing disappointment, Aberdeen say the decision from the Scottish FA was "based primarily on historical ticket sales at this stage of the competition".
Celtic are the cup holders and have lifted the trophy five times in the past 10 years.
Rangers were the 2022 winners and Hearts' last success came in 2012, while Aberdeen have not picked up the oldest national silverware in the world since 1990.
