The William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final tie between Rangers and Celtic will be played on Sunday, April 17.

In a statement, the Scottish FA said: "The ticket pricing policy will be the same for both matches and we are in dialogue with participating clubs with a view to announcing those early next week.
