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.
