CELTIC’S SCOTTISH CUP FINAL VICTORIES – Number 35…CELTIC 3-0 MOTHERWELL – HAMPDEN, 21 MAY 2011 – Celtic had been heading for a League and Cup double, but had blown up inexplicably at Inverness a few weeks ago to throw away the League, and once again we found ourselves looking to the Scottish Cup to redeem a poor season which had also included a defeat to Rangers in the League Cup final.
But this was a fairly easy victory in the perpetual Hampden rain. Ki scored a lovely goal in the first half, then Motherwell conceded what was technically an own goal but had a lot to do with Mark Wilson, before Charlie Mulgrew with a free kick from the edge of the box finished matters. It was a good victory for Celtic’s 35th capture of the Scottish Cup.
The Celtic team was: Forster, Izaguirre, Majstorovic, Wilson, Mulgrew, Loovens, Brown, Ki, Samaras (Stokes), Commons (Forrest), Hooper (McCourt).
