Heart of Midlothian Football Club is delighted to confirm that its Betfred Cup semi-final match against Celtic will now be played at 1.30pm on Sunday 28th October at BT Murrayfield.

The club is pleased that the concerns of all involved have been listened to and the new kick-off time is great news for all supporters, young and old.

The SPFL has worked jointly with the clubs to address the supporter issues and to find a solution that will enable two major fixtures in the Scottish football calendar to be showcased in the best possible manner. Hearts would like to thank everyone involved over the last week for their willingness to consider alternatives.

Now that the fixture has been set in stone we can start the process of allocating tickets to the supporters and making BT Murrayfield a sea of maroon for Craig and the team to walk out to, on what will be a truly special occasion for everyone associated with the club.
