The SPFL have confirmed that Aberdeen’s meeting with Hearts at Tynecastle on May 20 will now kick-off at 12.30pm.
The Scottish Premiership match was due to start at 3pm but has been moved “following discussions with the local authority” due to an event taking place at nearby Murrayfield.

The new kick-off time will mean an early start for the Aberdeen supporters who are heading to the capital to cheer on the Dons.
