Celtic Seeks Third Consecutive Scottish Cup Win Against St Johnstone

Celtic Football Club has a storied and record-breaking history with the Scottish Cup, having first won the trophy in 1892 and since accumulating numerous titles, including a treble of the Scottish Cup, Glasgow Cup, and Glasgow Charity Cup. The club has won the Scottish Cup in each of the past two seasons, most recently defeating Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Rangers in consecutive finals. Celtic holds the record for the largest Scottish Cup final victory and has only failed to win a Scottish Cup tie twice in the last eight years, both times against Rangers. In the 21st century, Celtic has claimed the trophy 12 times, with notable successes under managers like Martin O’Neill and Jock Stein, who led the team to multiple domestic trebles. Against their current semi-final opponents, St Johnstone, Celtic has historically dominated, winning seven of their eight Scottish Cup meetings. Their only loss to St Johnstone in the competition came in 1936, and they prevailed in the most recent quarter-final clash in 2020.
