CELTIC and Rangers will go head to head in the League Cup semi final at Hampden on Sunday, February 1 with a 1.30pm kick off - and the match will be broadcast live on BBC Scotland.

SPFL chiefs confirmed the date and times for the first Old Firm clash in nearly three years today.

Holders Aberdeen will take on north east rivals Dundee United a day earlier, again at Hampden, with a 3pm kick off.

The Glasgow giants were drawn against each other earlier this month and are set to face off for the first time since the financial collapse of Rangers in 2012.

SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster said: "We are pleased to be able to announce the information for this season’s Scottish League Cup semi finals, following agreement with all four clubs and other parties involved, including our valued broadcast rights holder for the competition, BBC Scotland.

“We are all looking forward to two fantastic semi finals at Hampden Park early next year and hope supporters of all four clubs enjoy lots of entertaining football and two memorable occasions overall.”

Ticket prices across both games have also been set, with 34,000 tickets for each semi-final – around 68,000 in total – available at £25 for adults and £10 for juveniles (under-16s).
