No thoughts of Hampden revenge, it’s all about reaching another final

No thoughts of Hampden revenge, it’s all about reaching another final No thoughts of revenge, all of Celtic’s focus tomorrow will be on reaching yet another Scottish Cup Final… St Johnstone v Celtic, Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park on Sunday 20 April 2025. Photo by Vagelis Georgariou (The Celtic Star) At Hampden tomorrow afternoon we will get a break from one of the most dramatic title races in modern history as we take on St Mirren at Hampden, with a place in the Scottish Cup Final on Saturday 23 May the prize on offer for winning side. We’ll know today whether it’s Falkirk or Neil Lennon’s Dunfermline who will be the other finalists and our job is simple – to make sure that they’ll be playing Celtic.

So there will be no putting our feet up, or lying on a beach for our players. Instead our Bhoys will be battling on the park in a bid to reach yet another cup final, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Tony Ralston.

Celtic v theRangers. Premier Sports Cup, semi final at Hampden. 2 November 2025.

The Jambos never even qualified for European football this season and Celtic also reached the Europa League play-off, something the latest Ibrox club got nowhere near. We’ve already tasted defeat to tomorrows opponents at the national stadium this term, back in December when we painfully lost out in the Premier Sports Cup final, after a disappointing performance seen us go down a whimper in a 3-1 defeat to a more determined and more worthy winner in the Paisley buddies.
