 With two clubs from Edinburgh qualifying for the final , some City of Edinburgh Council members called for the match to be played at Murrayfield Stadium instead of Hampden Park , the traditional venue for Scottish Cup Finals . A survey by the Edinburgh Evening News found that 37 of 58 councillors favoured Murrayfield , with nine favouring Hampden . Supporters of moving the game to Murrayfield cited its greater capacity , convenience for the majority of fans and the precedent of the 1896 Scottish Cup Final . The Scottish Football Association stated that no venue other than Hampden would be considered . Supporters of keeping the game at Hampden cited that the players would prefer to play at the national football stadium and that some fans had already begun to make arrangements for the tie being in Glasgow . First ScotRail provided additional capacity on their routes between Edinburgh and Glasgow .
