Scottish Cup final preview

Celtic and Motherwell meet in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park on Saturday, kick-off 3.00pm.

Celtic and Motherwell meet in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park on Saturday, kick-off 3.00pm.

Brendan Rodgers' side are bidding to complete historic back-to-back Trebles after adding to last season's domestic clean sweep by claiming the two trophies on offer so far in 2017/18.

Motherwell last got their hands on the Scottish Cup in 1991 when Tommy McLean led them to a famous 4-3 extra-time victory over Dundee United.

Celtic and Motherwell met in this season's Betfred Cup final, with the Hoops winning 2-0 thanks to goals from James Forrest and Moussa Dembele either side of a red card for Cedric Kipre.

The Steelmen have twice held the champions to draws at Fir Park this season - 1-1 in November and 0-0 in March - but lost 5-1 at Parkhead in December.

Victory for Motherwell would earn them a place in next season’s Europa League qualifiers while a win for Celtic would see Hibernian, who finished fourth in the Premiership, take that spot.
