Meanwhile in Scotland, the Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Rangers will be the first time this game in this competition will be shown on free-to-air television for the first time since 2002.
Shame the English and Scottish finals will likely clash. Neither kick-off officially confirmed yet, but last year's FA Cup final with the same finalists was moved to 15:00 because of the police, with an Old Firm final definitely not being a later kick-off. The Scottish Cup final might be moved to an early kick-off, but from what I can see, the last Old Firm last Scottish Cup final and the most recent Scottish League Cup finals between them were 15:00 kick-offs.
The Champions Cup rugby final will also be a 14:45 kick-off on the same day - very likely on ITV 4 now.
Will be very intersting how BBC Scotland square that circle, the FA Cup final will have to air on BBC Scotland I guess (and that looks silly on paper).
