Celtic Defeats St Johnstone 5-0, Advances to Scottish Cup Final Against Aberdeen

Celtic secured a dominant 5-0 win over St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup semi-final, with captain Callum McGregor opening the scoring and earning Man of the Match honors. This victory set up a final against Aberdeen and moved Celtic closer to a potential domestic treble under Brendan Rodgers, needing just one more point to clinch the Premiership title. McGregor’s goal marked him as the seventh Celtic player this season to score at least ten goals, a feat not achieved since the club’s legendary 1966-67 European Cup-winning campaign. The team’s multi-faceted attack has made them difficult to defend, reflecting the depth of scoring options throughout the squad. Rodgers and McGregor’s partnership continues to drive the team’s success, with both emphasizing their commitment to winning trophies. The achievement has drawn comparisons to the historic Lisbon Lions, as Celtic’s current attacking depth mirrors that iconic era.
