To whet your appetite for Saturday's showpiece, how about a look at the best goals on the road to Hampden?

The final will be live on BBC 1 Scotland, BBC Radio Scotland and on the BBC Sport website.

If Falkirk boss Peter Houston can lead the Championship side to success, he will become only the third manager to win the Scottish Cup with two different clubs.

The former Scotland assistant manager could emulate Jock Stein and Alex Smith, having guiding Dundee United to victory in 2010.

Houston is already a Falkirk hero, having played for the club in the 80s. "I signed Peter and he ended up a ginger God," former Falkirk manager Alex Totten tells BBC Scotland's Richard Wilson.

Inverness captain Graeme Shinnie could lift the Scottish Cup on Saturday little over four years after fearing his career was over.

The 23-year-old full-back needed a seven-hour operation to remove part of his bowel after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of Crohn's disease but has recovered to become one of the most coveted defenders in Scotland and clinch a summer switch to Aberdeen.

"I lost a lot of weight, I was weak, I couldn't eat because of the pain in my stomach," says Shinnie in this interview with BBC Scotland's Tom English.
