Celtic are all set for a thrilling Scottish Cup Final showdown against Philippe Clement’s team at Hampden on May 25. The stage was set after the Ibrox side secured their final spot with a 2-0 victory against Hearts on Sunday.
Cyriell Dessers played a crucial role, netting a goal in each half of what turned out to be a messy semifinal. This win marks their fifth victory over Steven Naismith’s team this season.
On the other side, Celtic confirmed their final berth in a nail-biting fashion, winning a penalty shootout against Aberdeen. Despite Joe Hart missing a penalty, he turned hero with a key save from Killian Phillips, sealing a 6-5 win for Brendan Rodgers’ team after a dramatic 3-3 draw post extra-time.
Joe Hart, the semi-final Celtic hero, is set for his last appearance in a Celtic jersey during the Glasgow derby at Hampden. Before this, Celtic and the Ibrox side will clash again in the league at Parkhead, where the current champions have already secured two wins and a draw in their three encounters this season.
Joe has the chance to go out with silverware against our fiercest rivals, it’s a high stakes situation for the big man who will relish the opportunity. The game will kick off at 3pm on May 25.
