The 2016 Scottish Cup Final was the 131st final of the Scottish Cup and the final of the 2015–16 Scottish Cup, the most prestigious knockout football competition in Scotland. The match took place at Hampden Park on 21 May 2016 and was contested by Scottish Championship teams Rangers and Hibernian.[1] It was the first final to be contested by two teams from outside the top tier of the Scottish football league system.[1] Hibernian ended a run of 114 years from last winning the competition, beating Rangers 3–2 with a stoppage time goal from club captain David Gray.[2]
The winners, Hibernian, entered the second qualifying round of the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League.[3]
