The SPFL have switched the venue following outrage over the decision to play both semi-final ties at Hampden on the same day. Hearts were originally scheduled to play at 7.45pm.

The match between Aberdeen and Rangers will now go ahead at Hampden on the Sunday but with a 4.30pm kick-off easing the travel difficulties faced by Dons fans by the original noon kick-off.

Celtic had written to the SPFL asking for a ballot to take place to decide the venues but that request has been turned down.
