Old Firm Derby Reignited: Celtic And Rangers Battle For Scottish Cup Glory
The Scottish Gas Men’s Scottish Cup final will witness a historic clash between Celtic and Rangers at Hampden Park on May 25th. This marks the first Old Firm Scottish Cup final in 22 years, with the last encounter in 2002 seeing Rangers triumph 3-2. The competition, sponsored by Isuzu UK for the second year, promises a thrilling contest.
Both teams have a storied history in the Scottish Cup, with Celtic holding 41 titles and Rangers 34. The stakes are high as both clubs aim to add another trophy to their impressive collections. The semi-finals saw Rangers secure their spot with a 2-0 victory over Hearts, while Celtic edged past Aberdeen 6-5 on penalties after a 3-3 draw.
George Wallis, Head of Marketing at Isuzu UK, commented on the partnership with the Scottish FA, highlighting shared values of determination and authenticity. "Both teams will leave nothing on the pitch in their bid to win the Scottish Cup and deny their rivals," Wallis stated. Isuzu UK continues to support domestic football initiatives, also partnering with the Clearer Water Irish Cup and sponsoring the Isuzu FA Vase & Trophy.

Rangers' journey to the final included a decisive win over Hearts, breaking a three-game winless streak. Celtic faced a tougher challenge against Aberdeen, ultimately prevailing in a dramatic penalty shootout. Both teams have shown resilience and skill, setting the stage for an exciting final.
