Team news
Hearts will give the likes of Craig Halkett, John Souttar (both ankle), Cammy Devlin (hamstring) and Michael Smith (back) the opportunity to prove their fitness. All four of them appeared in the 3-1 defeat last week and are thought to have played in a bounce game on Tuesday. Liam Boyce is thought to be fit again after being forced off against Rangers in the final league game of the season with a tight groin. Beni Baningime (knee) is a long-term absentee.

Hide AdWillie Collum is taking charge of this final. Hearts will be hoping for better luck than the 2019 Scottish Cup final when the whistler erroneously awarded Celtic a penalty from which Odsonne Edouard was able to equalise. He was also the referee when Hearts were handily beaten 5-0 at Ibrox in February.
What Robbie Neilson said
“We know it’s going to be a tough game and we need to be ready for it, but we’re all very excited for the weekend. There have been a lot of teams at Hearts over the years that have finished third, qualified for Europe, and gotten to cup finals. There’s been very few that have won it. We’ve got an opportunity to do it and what an opportunity it is."
