Celtic lifts Scottish Cup

by May 27th, 2017

Celtic lifted the Scottish Cup today after beating Aberdeen 2-1 thanks to a stoppage time goal from Tom Rogic’s to help them complete the domestic treble without losing a game this season.

A beautifully controlled half-volley from Jonny Hayes after nine minutes was reward for a fine Dons start.

But Celtic were level within two minutes as Stuart Armstrong was given too much time to pick out the far corner from the edge of the box.

Late Celtic pressure paid off as Rogic fired low past goalkeeper Joe Lewis.

A thrilling 90 minutes concluded with Celtic not only lifting the Cup for the first time since 2013 but becoming the first-ever side in Scotland to complete a treble without losing a game.

It was a 37th time the Hoops have lifted the world’s oldest national football trophy and the fourth time they have won the treble – and their first since 2001.
