Celtic Historian David Potter takes us on a journey through all of Celtic Scottish Cup Final triumphs as we gear up for Saturday’s 2023 Scottish Cup Final against Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Hampden. The story of Celtic’s glory in our favourite competition begins at Ibrox of all places, on 9 April 1892 and in our first instalment David told the story of the first eight Scottish Cup triumphs that Celtic enjoyed and you can catch up on those early Celtic triumphs HERE.
In the second instalment David covered Celtic’s eight Scottish Cup Final successes between 1914 and 1951 and again you can catch up HERE if you missed it yesterday.
And this morning Celtic’s successes in our favourite competition, the Scottish Cup takes us from the final success in the 1954 through to the triumph at the 1975 Scottish Cup Final. Here’s what happened at these finals and all of the other trophy winning days in the Scottish Cup in between…
The game was tight and little was given away with the score 0-0 at half time. Then Celtic got a break with a lucky own goal, Aberdeen pulled one back when Paddy Buckley for once got the better of Jock Stein, before a piece of magic on the right saw Willie Fernie cross to Sean Fallon to tap in the goal that won the 17th Scottish Cup for Celtic.
The Celtic team was: Bonnar, Haughney and Meechan; Evans, Stein and Peacock; Higgins, Fernie, Fallon, Tully and Mochan.
