Scottish Cup final Sportscene

Celtic v Aberdeen (kick-off 3pm)

Live from Hampden Park, Glasgow

The showpiece event of the Scottish football season sees Derek McInnes's Aberdeen take on Brendan Rodgers's Celtic for the oldest national football trophy in the world.

The Dons last lifted this trophy in 1990, when they defeated today's opponents in the first ever Scottish Cup final penalty shoot-out after a 0-0 draw over 90 minutes of normal play and 30 minutes of extra time. Brian Irvine converted the vital kick to give Aberdeen their seventh Scottish Cup victory. Meanwhile, Celtic are the most successful club in this competition with 36 wins, their last victory coming in 2013 when they beat Hibernian 3-0.

Brendan Rodgers will be hoping to secure his place in Celtic history today. Victory would land him the last leg of a domestic treble which has only been achieved by two previous Celtic managers - the legendary Jock Stein and more recently Martin O'Neill. The achievement would carry added significance as it is almost exactly 50 years since the Lisbon Lions lifted the European Cup.

Derek McInnes has consolidated Aberdeen's position as the second force in Scottish football in recent years. They finished runners-up in the Premiership title race and have already been to one Hampden final this season, losing 3-0 to Celtic in the League Cup. The Pittodrie side last lifted a trophy in 2014 when they won the League Cup, and will be looking to take more silverware back to the Granite City today.

The Sportscene team tell the story of how this season's Scottish Cup unfolded. Key players talk about their cup campaigns and aspirations and we'll have in-depth interviews with the managers. We take a nostalgic walk down memory lane with both clubs, plus we bring you all the team news and tactical analysis as kick-off approaches.
