Scottish Cup Final: Play has begun

The Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Hibernian has kicked off.

It was a strong-looking Celtic side that took to the field intent on completing the third leg of the club’s first treble since 1969.

Hibernian were searching for their first Scottish Cup win since 1902 and opted for big Finn Mixu Paatelainen up front with Marc Libbra, with David Zitelli on the bench.

There was a rare start in midfield for Grant Brebner, with Stuart Lovell and Freddie Arpinon having to make do with places on the bench.
