The Scottish Cup is one of the oldest and most prestigious tournaments in club football, and therefore hoisting this famous trophy is a big deal for both teams competing in the Scottish Cup final.

Memorable Moments in the Scottish Cup Final
Some unforgettable moments in the Scottish Cup final include the 1984 final. Aberdeen narrowly overcame Celtic, 2-1 after extra-time, for Alex Ferguson's side to claim a third successive Scottish Cup title. Two years earlier Aberdeen had beaten Rangers, 4-1, in the Scottish Cup final, with Alex McLeish and Gordon Strachan among the scorers.
The 2002 Scottish Cup final was another classic for the ages, as Glasgow rivals Celtic and Rangers went head-to-head at Hampden Park. The teams were deadlocked at 2-2 and the game looked set to enter into extra-time before Peter Løvenkrands scored a last-minute winner for Rangers to reign supreme over their bitter foes.
Six years later there was another five-goal thriller featuring Rangers, as they took on second-tier side Queen of the South. Kris Boyd was twice on target, including for the winning goal, as Rangers survived a scare to lift the Scottish Cup for the 32nd time.
Top Achievers in the Scottish Cup Final
No club has been more successful in the Scottish Cup than Celtic FC, having captured this title for the 41st time in 2023. The following year The Bhoys would feature in the Scottish Cup final for a record-extending 59th time.
Rangers have lifted this trophy no fewer than 34 times themselves, second only to arch-rivals Celtic. Queen's Park is the next most decorated club in Scottish Cup history, with 10 titles, however the Glasgow-based side last hoisted this trophy back in 1900.
Hearts celebrated an eighth Scottish Cup triumph in 2012, while Aberdeen are seven-time winners of this competition.
Best Players in the Scottish Cup Final
No player, past or present, has more Scottish Cup winner's medals than Bobby Lennox. The former Scotland winger won this title nine times, all of them coming with Celtic. Lennox played alongside Billy McNeill, who retired with seven Scottish Cup titles to his name.
In more recent times, James Forrest has lifted the Scottish Cup no fewer than seven times with Celtic, while ex-Celtic captain Scott Brown is a six-time winner of this trophy.
Jimmy McGrory, widely regarded as one of the best goalscorers in the history of the Scottish game, scored 77 goals in the Scottish Cup. This tally is highly unlikely to be surpassed.
Top Managers in the Scottish Cup Final
Willie Maley is the most successful coach in Scottish Cup history having led Celtic to the title on 16 occasions, however all of these came prior to World War II. His opposite number at Rangers, Bill Struth became a nine-time winning manager of this Cup.
In the modern era, Jock Stein guided Celtic to Scottish Cup glory on eight occasions in the 1960s and 70s. Walter Smith, meanwhile, oversaw five Cup successes as Rangers manager in the 90s and 2000s.
Alex Ferguson, best known for his time as Manchester United manager, made a name for himself as head coach of Aberdeen, steering the team to four Scottish Cup titles in the 80s. Neil Lennon, former Celtic boss, is also a four-time winner of this trophy.
