European place

The winner earns the right to play in the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League, entering in the Playoff round.^[3] The position of the clubs in the 2021–22 Scottish Premiership rendered this point moot, however, as Rangers had guaranteed a place in the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League, meaning Hearts will secure Europa League qualification by either winning the cup, or by finishing in third place in the league if the place defaults to the league because Rangers win the cup.

Pre-match

Going into the 2022 final, Rangers had won the Scottish Cup 33 times from 52 appearances in Scottish Cup finals.^[4] The 2022 final is their first appearance in the final since 2016, and were seeking to win the cup for the first time since 2009.^[4] Heart of Midlothian had won the Scottish Cup 8 times from 16 appearances in the final.^[4] Their most recent appearance in the final was in 2020, and their most recent victory was in 2012.^[4] The clubs had previously met in the finals of 1903 (Rangers winning 2–0 in a second replay), 1976 (3–1 for Rangers), 1996 (5–1 for Rangers) and 1998 (2–1 for Hearts).^[4]
