TODAY'S Scottish Cup final outcome is hard to call, but Celtic will be hoping December 31 has arrived early. If they beat holders Glasgow City, whose successes for the last 18 years have been relentless, it will out with the old and in with the new.
There will be no complaints if this afternoon's game matches the quality of the previous final, which was also held at Tynecastle, in November, 2019. City beat Hibernian 4-3 at the end of a thrilling game in which the lead changed hands three times – with Clare Shine's superb late winner capping a memorable occasion.
