This month's Little Big Shot Youth Cup Final between Celtic and Rangers, to be held at Hampden Park on Thursday May 21, will be shown live on youtube, although tickets for the youth showpiece will not be available to buy at the stadium on match day.
Following discussions between the Scottish FA, Celtic, Rangers and Police Scotland, it has been jointly agreed that both clubs will distribute an allocation of tickets through their community and academy programmes. This follows the success of a similar approach when Celtic and Rangers under-17s met in this year's Glasgow Cup Final at the National Stadium.
Stewart Regan, the chief executive of the Scottish FA, said: "The Little Big Shot Youth Cup Final is the pinnacle of the season for under-20 clubs and the aim for everyone involved in this match is to make sure that it is an enjoyable occasion.
"We thank Celtic, Rangers and Police Scotland for their valuable input on match planning, and we are confident that, after agreeing this joint approach, young fans, players and club staff will enjoy a great display of football at Hampden on 21st May."
The Hampden showdown will be available free at www.youtube.com/ScottishCupOfficial
