    Christophe Berra will have his thoughts this afternoon. The Hearts captain was out of the picture and out on loan under Daniel Stendel last season, fearing that his time at the club was over.

    Now, he will skipper the team in today's final. Here he is speaking earlier in the week.

  4. We've got this covered...published at 12:06 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2020

    Celtic v Heart of Midlothian (14:15)

    Today's coverage is comprehensive, with the big game on BBC One Scotland, streaming online (at the top of this page later) and on BBC Radio Scotland, also streamed via this page.

    With most people stuck at home with nowhere to go, I reckon I could just put my feet up and watch the match but we'll keep the text updates going for anyone out there Christmas shopping and for interested parties overseas.

    That's another thing missing; the traditional newspaper stories of fans making epic journeys to get to Hampden from far flung corners of the globe.

  5. A Scottish Cup final like no otherpublished at 12:00 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2020

    Celtic v Heart of Midlothian (14:15)

    Greetings.

    A Scottish Cup final five days before Christmas? A Scottish Cup final from last season taking place after this campaign's competition has already started? A Scottish Cup final in front of no fans?

    It's all a bit odd and definitely a far cry from anything anyone wanted but there is silverware up for grabs and several subplots to add to the intrigue, so sit back and enjoy our coverage of Celtic v Hearts.
