Celtic is riding high after reaching the Scottish Cup final, where they face Aberdeen, the fifth-placed team in the Scottish league. The team is seeking a treble this season, having already won the League Cup and holding a 15-point lead in the league, just one win away from securing their fourth consecutive title.
Road to the Final
Celtic booked their spot in the final with a convincing 5-0 win over St. Johnstone in the semifinals. The team’s performance was impressive, with four goals scored in the first half, courtesy of Callum McGregor, Daizen Maeda (twice), and Adam Idah. Jota added the fifth goal after coming on as a substitute.
🎯 A pinpoint ball to the back post from Johnston, and Jota finishes with style!
