Celtic will play Philippe Clement’s Rangers in the highly anticipated Scottish Cup Final on May 25th at Hampden Park. The buildup to this historic match has been spectacular, to say the least, with Celtic sealing their place after a nail-biting semi-final against Aberdeen.
Rangers advanced to the final with a straightforward 2-0 win over Hearts, thanks in large part to Cyriell Dessers, who scored both. Their triumph at Hampden marks their fifth win over Hearts this season.
Celtic’s final visit before the final was nothing short of dramatic. After a dramatic battle against Aberdeen that concluded in a 3-3 draw after extra time, it was down to penalties. Despite an earlier miss, Celtic custodian Joe Hart emerged as the hero, making a critical save to seal his team’s 6-5 shootout victory. Hart, who is nearing the conclusion of his Celtic career, is anticipated to make his farewell appearance in a Celtic jersey in the next final, adding an emotional depth to the occasion.
The anticipation for the final will be limited because of Celtic’s current title battle. However, in the midst of the SPFL run-in, there is a minor issue with ticketing for the final.
Approximately 40,000 Celtic fans turned out for the semi-final versus Aberdeen, a strong but unsurprising display of support for the side. However, securing a spot in the final will be a hard challenge.
CeltsAreHere recognises that the only way to receive a ticket is through legitimate methods, such as Celtic’s home cup ticket plan, which enters members into a vote. Given the predicted 50/50 split in ticket allocation between Celtic and Rangers fans, many supporters will be unhappy. The potential of a second ballot provides some optimism for individuals who missed out the first time, although the chances remain modest.
The enormous demand will obviously raise concerns about ticket scalping and exaggerated secondary market prices. We strongly discourage purchasing tickets from illegitimate sources.
There will be a limited number of tickets available through a Hampden VIP lane, where lounge access and eye-watering costs will get you a spot. These tickets normally sell quickly, especially to repeat buyers.
As the final approaches, both teams will face off one again in the league at Parkhead, serving as a warm-up for the final. With both sides in similar form this season, the final is likely to be a showcase of Scottish football at its finest. While wrestling with the ticket conundrum, fans can look forward to a thrilling match.
