Kerrydale Street-Celtic vs huns: Scottish Cup Final Pre-Match Thread || Saturday 25 May @ 3pm || BBC Scotland & Premier Sports (2024)

The 150th Cup Final on Lisbon Lions Day alone confirms we win it, that’s before you even look at the teams.

Get them pumped.

Travelling back to UK today - will get home about 2pm. Apologies as I’m sure this has been covered but can I get this on iplayer if based in England? Very keen to avoid Premier/Viaplay after getting signed up for a year after buying a cup game last season!

Worried that I’m confident for today!

Needing to invest in Celtic TV for this. Any noticeable difference between the standard vs premium package?

I’ve always been too fearful of the quality in the standard package given the lack of high in the high definition version.

If you’re in a country that’s not got it on tv and bookies sites are not blocked, bet365 show it live in better HD and uninterrupted, unlike CtV lately.

We won the 100th final in 85. No cups in the wars.

150th anniversary though, so our name is on the cup.

Literally. The huns' isn't though as there was no space by the time the useless bastards got round to winning it.

Yes, on the iPlayer UK-wide

Should be quite prominent on it and the BBC Sport site from 1:15pm onwards when the coverage starts.

Hart

Johnston , CCV , Scales , Taylor

O’Riley , Hatate , McGregor

Forrest , Kyogo , Maeda

2-0 to the CHAMPIONS

He said we'd played the new club 40 times since 2012 and he reckoned there had only been three "upsets" in that time. Those were when they beat us on penalties in the 2016 Scottish Cup semi, when they beat us in extra time in the Scottish cup semi in Ange's first season, and when we beat them 1-0 at Ibrox in the first derby this season. I'd agree with him on the first and third example, but going in to that 2022 semi final my recollection is that it felt very much like a 50-50 game. Both teams were fairly evenly matched in the league although we'd kicked on brilliantly since the turn of the year, but they were on the cusp of a Europa League final. If they beat us today that would be a massive upset, the 2022 semi wasn't.

I always feel it’s a cliche too. Whoever is on top generally wins these games with very few that go against the grain. Conversely, during the 90’s, they got the best of these games during their old clubs 9 in a row. We have generally dominated games against sevco except that covid season. Think it’s a cliche to suggest the form book goes out the window with these games

Another close game is my thinking. Be unusual to play them 5 times in a season and be undefeated.

You might think that, but it’s actually the norm under Rodgers - it happened in each of his first 2 seasons. Indeed, we were unbeaten in 6 games against them in the Invincible season.

Strange builld up this week. Doesn't feel like a big cup final. Perhaps the massive rewards of winning league and the (relatively) tight race has taken up all the energy.

As per recent games, if Celtic turn up they will win by 2 or more. Better players, better manager and better form.

My thoughts exactly.

Missing this because of work. Just destroy them Celtic. 3-1 to the hoops!

To be fair, you are Brendan Rodgers.
Would kind of expect you to be working today.
