Thousands of Celtic and Aberdeen fans will be heading to Glasgow’s south side to Hampden for the Scottish Cup final on Saturday.

The end of season finale gives Brendan Rodgers the chance to wrap up Celtic’s record ninth domestic treble in their history.

For Aberdeen, their fans will be hoping to see their club lift the Scottish Cup for just the eighth time in their history, the first since 1990, which was, ironically, against Celtic.

With Hampden seeing a 50/50 ticket allocation split, 20,000 fans from Celtic and Aberdeen will descend on the national stadium and ScotRail are planning to make that journey a little bit easier this weekend.
