David Potter on Celtic’s Scottish Cup Final wins from 2005 to 2020

CELTIC’S SCOTTISH CUP FINAL VICTORIES – Number 38…CELTIC 2-0 MOTHERWELL – HAMPDEN, 19 MAY 2018 –  In glorious sunshine, Celtic today completed their second treble in a row with a clinical defeat of a Motherwell side who were, by no means, a poor side.

This was the day of the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and the Celtic fans sang a few songs about that which were not featured on the BBC. More respectable praise and acclamation was bestowed on the two fine goals scored by Callum McGregor and Olivier Ntcham, and indeed an accomplished performance by a very good Celtic team.

The Celtic team was: Gordon, Lustig, Boyata, Ajer (Simunovic), Tierney, Ntcham, Brown, Forrest (Sinclair), Rogic (Armstrong), McGregor, Dembele.
