The Dons confirmed the news on Monday after releasing the remaining tickets to supporters earlier in the day. Demand was high, with fans rushing to secure briefs for what will be the club’s first appearance in the final since Celtic beat them in 2017.

Aberdeen had taken around 12,500 fans to the national stadium for their semi-final victory over Hearts, but the pull of a final against the champions—and the chance to spoil Celtic’s Treble hopes—has seen that figure rise significantly.

The Red Army will now be out in full force on May 24 as Jimmy Thelin’s side look to get their hands on the trophy for the first time since 1990 and deny Celtic a sixth domestic Treble in just nine years.

Celtic, meanwhile, are 90 minutes away from yet another clean sweep of Scottish football. With the Premiership title secured and the League Cup already in the trophy cabinet, Brendan Rodgers’ men will arrive at Hampden aiming to cap off another dominant campaign.

For Aberdeen, it’s a chance to make history of their own. While Celtic will be favourites, the backing of a full Red Army section and the unpredictability of a one-off final means all eyes will be on the Granite City club’s attempt to spring an upset.
