  1. Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    The game had hit a little lull. It's been frantic so far and both sets of players are probably drawing their breaths.

  2. Little between the teams

    Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Your voting before kick-off was closer than the bookmakers would have suggested.

    We had 192 thumbs down for a Celtic win to 116 thumbs up for a Hearts one.

    It's certainly a close thing on the pitch too.

  3. 'Levein will be delighted'

    Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Allan Preston
    BBC Scotland summariser on Sportsound

    I think Craig Levein will be delighted - half an hour gone and so far they're compact, difficult to beat, they're forcing Celtic down the wide areas and then doubling up to stop crosses - and they're also getting a little joy going the other way with Jake Mulraney

  4. Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    It's Hearts turn to break quickly, but when Jake Mulraney's cross breaks off Kristoffer Ajer, Sean Clare can't get enough on his header under pressure from Jonny Hayes to trouble goalkeeper Scott Bain.

  5. Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    James Forrest finds some space deep inside the Hearts penalty box.

    His attempt with the outside of his foot might have been heading wide anyway, but John Souttar blocks to clear.

  6. Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic are increasing the pressure now after Hearts' bright start.

    A Jonny Hayes cross to the front post is aimed at Odsonne Edouard, but Christophe Berra makes a fine intervention.

  7. Celtic not giving Bain options

    Hitting the diagonal is the only option Scott Bain has. Every other player is almost man-for-man, the Celtic players aren't giving him the options. The only ball he can hit is up to Edouard or out to Lustig and he's over-hit a number of them so far

  8. Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Hearts right-back Michael Smith receives a word of warning from referee Willie Collum for a tackle from behind on Odsonne Edouard.

    The French striker is then just caught offside as he breaks clear, but goalkeeper Zdenek Zlamal makes a save in any case.

  9. Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Hearts have been looking good, but Celtic threaten on the break and it spells danger.

    But a superb tackle from the backtracking John Souttar blocks Odsonne Edouard's shot, which is deflected for a corner.

  10. Hearts keeping it compact

    Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Hearts have about six players in the middle of the pitch in a box of about 30 yards and are not allowing Celtic to penetrate them, forcing it down the sides - and it's working okay for them so far

  11. Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Aaron Hickey pings the first shot on target.

    It is straight at Celtic goalkeeper Scott Bain from 25 yards, but that's confidence for you from the youngest player to play in a Scottish Cup final.

  12. Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Aaron Hickey has made a confident start on Hearts' left and the 16-year-old sets up Jake Mulraney for a cross into the box that requires a good defensive header from Jonny Hayes to clear.

  13. 'Mulraney has beating of Lustig'

    Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Allan Preston
    BBC Scotland summariser on Sportsound

    Lustig has been a terrific defender for years, but Mulraney has got the beating of him pace-wise. That's got to be the out-ball for Hearts. But sometimes Mulraney can drop off in games

  14. Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    A decent spell of possession for Hearts, which will help to settle nerves. They have yet to be really opened up by the cup holders.

  15. 'Decent Hearts start'

    Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Decent start from Hearts - they're bound to be nervous. This starting IX have never played together. They have pressed Celtic very high. I expected them to drop off and leave the ball with Celtic, but they're stopping Celtic controlling the game at this stage

  16. Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Hearts are closing Celtic down high up the pitch in an attempt to prevent Celtic getting into any rhythm and dominate the game.

    But Celtic eventually break forward and Christophe Berra has to clear from in front of his own goal from Jonny Hayes' low cross.

  17. Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Hearts are first to threaten in a misty Hampden as the pre-match pyrotechnics clear.

    Jake Mulraney's cross just evades Steven MacLean's head before bobbling for a goal kick.

  18. KICK-OFF

    Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Celtic

    Will captain Scott Brown claim his 20th trophy with Celtic, or will Craig Levein lead his side to his first with Hearts?

    It's a thunderous atmosphere as Celtic kick off in their traditional green and white hoops and Hearts in their usual maroon.
