Hearts meet Rangers on Saturday for the first time in a Scottish Cup final since 1998.

The Edinburgh side broke a 36-year barren spell that day to finally lift a trophy.

Goals from Colin Cameron and Stephane Adam secured a 2-1 win at Celtic Park in what was Walter Smith’s last game in charge of his first spell at Rangers.

STV’s Jamie Borthwick sat down with Jim Jefferies, the Hearts manager that day, to relive a momentous win.
