Hearts vs Celtic, Scottish Cup final - live score and latest updates
The Hoops will complete the monumental achievement of the 'treble-treble' if they overcome the Jambos at Hampden
Celtic will write their names into the history books of world football on Saturday if they can overcome Hearts in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden to secure a remarkable ‘treble-treble’.

The Hoops have dominated Scottish football over the last three years, with Hibs’ thrilling 3-2 victory over Rangers in the 2016 showpiece the last trophy that they failed to win.

Hearts, meanwhile, are chasing their first Scottish Cup success since the 2011-12 campaign, when they defeated their Edinburgh rivals 5-1 in the final.



With a 3-0 win at Aberdeen, Celtic moved into an unassailable 12-point lead in the Scottish Premiership to clinch a 50th top-flight title with two games to spare. Only fierce Glasgow rival Rangers — with 54 — has more.

Having already collected the Scottish League Cup in December, Celtic will wrap up the treble if it wins the Scottish Cup final against Hearts on May 25.

A "triple treble," as it is being called in Scotland, would be an unprecedented achievement in the country.

Perhaps just as importantly, Celtic is one more league title from tying the record of nine in a row — held by the Celtic teams of 1966-74 and Rangers' teams from 1989-97.

"We need to take some time, even the supporters, to take stock and enjoy the moment," said Celtic manager Neil Lennon, who has won the Scottish league four times. "This is eight titles — it has not been done for a very long time.

"So it is a special group of players and the fans should engage in that and not think about nine and 10."

Mikael Lustig, Jozo Simunovic and Odsonne Edouard scored Celtic's goals at Pittodrie to seal the team's 26th win in 36 league games in the campaign. Its first match as champion will be against Steven Gerrard's Rangers at Ibrox next weekend.
