Scottish League Cup final 2026: Rangers vs Hibernian: Ticket Allocations & Where to Sit at Hampden
- Last Updated On
- Ben Green
The Scottish League Cup final features a fascinating clash between Rangers and Hibernian.
Rangers have showcased plenty of improvement under Derek McInnes in recent weeks and victory on December 13 would set them up nicely for the rest of the campaign.
Ryan Naderi was the hero for Rangers on Saturday as they edged past Aberdeen at Hampden Park in front of 43,567 spectators.
Hibernian head to Hampden Park on December 13 to face Rangers following a derby semi-final victory over Hearts thanks to goals from Martin Boyle and Jamie McGrath.
It is now over a decade since Hibernian last won any silverware so demand for tickets in the Hibs end at Hampden Park will be immense. Over 41,000 were in attendance for the Edinburgh derby on Sunday.
Rangers vs Hibernian League Cup Final: Key Takeaways
- The Scottish League Cup goes by its sponsored name, the Premier Sports Cup, so you will see both names on tickets and listings.
- The final is on Sunday, December 13, 2026 at Hampden Park. Kick-off time is still to be confirmed.
- Resale tickets on SeatPick start from £199, with an average of £396.
- The SPFL has not yet confirmed the ticket split. Past finals point to roughly 25,000 for Rangers and 18,000 to 20,000 for Hibs.
- Rangers had the West Stand for their semi-final, so our best guess is Hibs fans head to the East Stand. That is not confirmed yet.
- For the best view, pick the South Stand or North Stand. The ends behind the goals are the place for atmosphere.

Premier Sports Cup Final Tickets: Rangers vs Hibernian Prices on SeatPick
This is the key pricing information for the game currently on SeatPick. The cheapest seat for the final starts at £199, the average listing sits at £396 and the most expensive ticket is £900.
That £199 entry point is almost four times what it costs to get into Hampden for Scotland a month earlier. Very few supporters of either club give up a cup final ticket, and that is reflected in the price.
The average is roughly double the cheapest seat, which shows how wide the spread is. Hibs fans who miss out on the club allocation and Rangers fans without a season ticket will both be chasing the same small pool of resale seats.
Expect prices to move once the SPFL confirms the split. If Hibs end up with a smaller share than their fans feel they deserve, demand in the Hibs end could push the cheapest listings up further.
The final is one of four events coming up at the national stadium, and the comparison is telling.
| Date | Event and Venue | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| Fri, Nov 13, 2026 | Scotland vs North Macedonia, UEFA Nations League, Hampden Park | £55 |
| Sun, Dec 13, 2026 | Premier Sports Cup Final, Rangers vs Hibernian, Hampden Park | £199 |
| Sat, May 22, 2027 | Scottish Cup Final, Hampden Park | £1,000 |
| Tue, Jul 13, 2027 | Noah Kahan, Hampden Park | £78 |

The Scottish Cup final is the eye-catcher. It is listing from £1,000 more than six months out, before anyone knows who will be playing, simply because so few seats are on the market this early.
Premier Sports Cup Final Ticket Allocations: How the Rangers vs Hibs Split Is Likely to Work
The SPFL has not announced the allocations for the final yet, so this section is our best prediction. It is based on how the league has split Hampden Park for both clubs in recent years.
The key thing to know is that the SPFL does not simply divide the stadium 50/50. It looks at how many tickets each club sold for its semi-final and splits the ground accordingly.
That has hurt Hibs before. When they met Celtic in the 2021 final, Hibs were initially given around 17,500 tickets and their then manager Jack Ross called the split "baffling".
Hibs sold out quickly and the SPFL released another 2,000 seats in the upper tier of the South Stand. Hibs ended up with close to 20,000 fans inside Hampden that day.
| Match | Ticket Split | Where Fans Sat |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 final: Celtic vs Hibs | Hibs 17,500, plus 2,000 extra | Celtic in the North and East Stands, South Stand shared |
| 2023 final: Rangers vs Aberdeen | Rangers about 25,000, Aberdeen up to 19,500 | Aberdeen pushed for 50/50 and were turned down |
| 2026 semi: Rangers vs Aberdeen | Aberdeen 17,000, cut by 500 | Rangers in the West Stand plus parts of the North and South |
| 2026 semi: Hibs vs Hearts | Over 18,000 Hibs fans expected | Hearts on the east side, Hibs on the west |
Put those numbers together and the most likely outcome is Rangers in the region of 25,000 and Hibs somewhere between 18,000 and 20,000. The rest of Hampden's roughly 52,000 seats go to the SFA, sponsors and hospitality.
Hibs will almost certainly push for an even split again, given the size of their following against Hearts. Whether the SPFL budges is another matter, as it held firm with Aberdeen in 2023.
Both clubs sell to season ticket holders first, followed by members and anyone with a purchase history. With demand this high, general sale is unlikely for either end, which is why resale on SeatPick matters for this one.
Rangers and Hibs also meet in the Scottish Premiership at Easter Road on December 7, six days before the final. That league game will be a useful dress rehearsal for both sets of fans. There are also tickets available on SeatPick for that clash at Easter Road, starying from £75.
Where to Sit at Hampden for Rangers vs Hibernian
Hampden is a bowl, with four stands wrapping around the pitch. The South Stand is the only one with two tiers, while the North, East and West Stands are single tier.
Both clubs used the west end of the ground for their semi-finals, so one of them will have to move. Rangers had the West Stand against Aberdeen, which makes the East Stand the likeliest home for Hibs. This is a prediction, until the SPFL confirms it.
View the Hampden Seating Plan →
| Stand | Likely to House | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| South Stand (two tiers) | Split between both clubs, plus hospitality | The best all-round view of the pitch |
| North Stand | Split between both clubs | Side-on view and the loudest part of the ground |
| West Stand | Rangers (expected) | Rangers fans who want to be behind the goal |
| East Stand | Hibs (expected) | Hibs fans who want to be behind the goal |
For the best view, go for the South Stand. It runs along the halfway line and the upper tier gives you a raised view of the whole pitch, which is ideal if you want to watch the tactical battle unfold.
For the atmosphere, the North Stand is usually the noisiest part of Hampden. The behind-the-goal ends are where the most vocal supporters of each club tend to gather on cup final day.
Watch out for the rake. The stands at Hampden are fairly shallow, so the lower rows behind the goals can feel a long way from the action. If you are in the East or West Stand, a seat further back usually gives a better view.
Check the section before you buy. Segregation is strict at a final, so a seat in the wrong end means a long afternoon. Make sure the section number on your listing matches your club's confirmed allocation on the Hampden Park seating plan.
If you are a Rangers fan used to the view at Ibrox, bear in mind Hampden feels very different. The pitch sits further from the stands, so a seat on the side usually beats one low down behind the goal.
