1. Celtic paid a heavy price for their missed chances with Ki twice hitting the woodwork when it looked easier to score. The penalty that led to Hearts' winner in a frantic finish looked harsh, but Gary Hooper appeared to be offside for Celtic's leveller so both sides would appear to have grievances. But overall a terrific cup tie and now we will have an all-Edinburgh final between Hearts and Hibs at Hampden on May 19.

    Free kick by Commons is heading for the top corner until MacDonald moves to his left to claw it away for a corner.

27. 68

    Lustig's cross to the far post almost falls to Stokes, but again Hearts get it away.

79. 17

    Mulgrew floats a teasing ball to the far post, but it's too deep for both Samaras and Hooper.

80. 16

95. 1

    Celtic get us under way attacking the end housing the bulk of the Hearts fans.

96. The teams come out to a crescendo of noise and it looks like the flag sellers outside the stadium have enjoyed some brisk pre-match sales!

97. Charlie Goldie says: "Very much looking forward to this game. It looks like it will be close, but I think Celtic will win it 3-2. I do think Hearts will score one or two today, but Celtic should edge them out. Ian Black to open the scoring."

The Tynecastle side show two changes, defender Andy Webster and striker Stephen Elliott in for the injured Jamie Hamill and Gary Glen, who dropped out altogether, while former Celtic striker Craig Beattie starts on the bench.

100. "I think Hearts have a decent chance - if we can defend well then we have a good chance. Also we have Templeton and Beattie off the bench to cause some havoc late on! C'mon the Jambos!" said Fraser Smith.

101. Our colleagues at Sky Bet make Celtic 2/5 favourites, with the draw 100/30 and Hearts the rank outsiders at 7/1. Bhoys striker Gary Hooper is the 3/1 favourite to net the first goal, with Georgios Samaras 9/2.

102. Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of today's Scottish Cup semi-final between newly-crowned SPL champions Celtic and Hearts at Hampden Park. If form is anything to go by, then Neil Lennon's side should remain on course for a domestic double. But Hearts can be a match for anyone in the SPL and will quietly fancy their chances of making it an all-Edinburgh final after Hibs beat Aberdeen to claim their place yesterday.
