Hearts will have to pay for any unsold tickets for their Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers, as they agreed to cover the cost as part of securing a 50-50 split of Hampden Park. With 5,000 tickets still unsold, the club will need to bear the expense. It is uncertain if this will affect future ticket allocations for Hearts at the national stadium.

It's not yet known if this situation will affect future ticket allocations for the Jambos at the national stadium.

Dens chief John Nelms is confident the match will go ahead, insisting that covers are over the 'areas of concern' to help protect the grass from the element
