Celtic and Inverness Scottish Cup Final TV shunt fear sets punters off as Manchester Derby holds the cards

Armchair fans will face a delay to Scottish Cup final coverage on BBC One Scotland if the FA Cup final in England goes into extra time, adding to fans fury over the controversy surrounding the showpiece.

Supporters north of the border have been angered at the switch from the traditional 3pm kick off time at Hampden over fears a clash with the Wembley showpiece could impact on audience figures for the match that will be screened by the national broadcaster and Viaplay. That has resulted in Scotrail putting on extra trains to help Inverness fans making the trip home from Glasgow after the clash with Celtic.

And if the FA Cup final - where Manchester City and Manchester United will battle it out in London - goes to extra-time and penalties, the Scottish Cup will start on BBC Scotland and move to BBC One Scotland when the former is finished.
