If you can't make the journey to Glasgow tomorrow you can still enjoy the match in a party atmosphere.
The arguments about the later than normal kick-off time for the Scottish Cup final have been well aired since it was revealed.
But whether it is that or some other reason that is preventing you travelling to Hampden to see Caley Thistle take on Celtic for one of the team's biggest ever clashes, there are plenty of places around and about town that you can still enjoy the game in a convivial atmosphere –whatever the full-time result turns out to be.
The Imperial
Academy Street
One of the city's premier venues for sports lovers since replacing the former Bar One, it has already built up a regular clientele as well as providing a more than warm welcome for visitors too.
Ten TVs strategically placed throughout means you can always be guaranteed of a good view of the action – and with food available too you don't have to worry about getting peckish.
The bar is also running a sweepstake on first goal scored and first card issued. Just pop in to place your bet, winner announced on Saturday.
The Caledonian
High Street
The friendly central venue offers delicious food and great drinks at reasonable prices, with the game set to be broadcast to perfection on the bar's HD screens.

The Innes Bar
Innes Street
One of the oldest licenced venues in Inverness, the traditional bar with friendly staff is an option if you don't fancy being right in the heart of town – but not too far out of it either.
Named Best Licensed Premises in the Highlands in this year's Scottish Business Awards it has to be worth checking out anyway.
Lauders
Church Street
One of at least three venues vying for the title of "Inverness's oldest pub" it's certainly well known as one of the city's leading "party bars" and will definitely be jumping if the result goes the way we all hope.

Dows Bar and Bistro
Balloan Road
Another venue that allows you to get out of town a bit, without getting too far from the action, its kitchen was temporarily closed earlier this month but it still offers comfortable and welcoming surroundings for all sports fans.
