Ready for kick off: Everything you need to know about the cup final weekend

Preparations are under way for the first all-Edinburgh Scottish Cup final in 116 years.

While thousands are travelling to Hampden, many more will be watching the match in pubs throughout the capital. Restrictions on both the roads and railways will apply for those making the trip to Glasgow.

On Sunday, part of Edinburgh will be closed as the winning team makes their way from the City Chambers to their stadium.

Fans who want to be in the ground will be allowed in on a first come first serve basis. The turnstiles will be closing before the parade bus reaches the stadium.

Road closures and parking restrictions will be in place, many of which start on Saturday.

We have compiled links to important information about the whole weekend below.
