Celtic and Inverness Scottish Cup final to break kick off time tradition and avoid FA Cup TV tussle

This season’s Scottish Cup Final is set for a break from tradition and kick-off at LUNCHTIME.

The seasons showpiece event will see Treble chasing Celtic take on Inverness CT at Hampden after their respective semi-final victories over the weekend. The Highlanders made light work of Falkirk with a 3-0 victory while Jota’s header was enough for the Hoops to gain revenge after last year’s defeat to Rangers at the same stage.

Those results set up a showdown between the two on June 3, but the usual 3pm kick-off time is set to be axed, which is sure to anger fans on both sides, reports the Scottish Sun. The Caley Thistle faithful were forced to make an early start for the long trip down to Glasgow for their 12:15pm clash with the Bairns, and are now going to have to set their alarm clocks yet again on cup final day.
