Celtic will be looking to achieve a consecutive sweep of domestic trophies and are 37-time winners of the cup.
Motherwell have won the Scottish Cup twice before, last winning it in 1991. Celtic have already beaten Motherwell – seventh in the Scottish league – in the League Cup final in November, with the score finishing at 2-0.
Having already won their seventh Scottish title in a row after defeating Rangers 5-0, they could continue to assert their dominance in Scottish football by claiming victory over Motherwell.

The good news for Rodgers' side is that goalkeeper Gordon has passed a fitness test and will return to the side after missing three games due to a knee injury.
Celtic are already heavy favourites to win the tie and would be on course to win their third trophy of the season.
"You hear lots of talk around these games, saying it is the team that wants it more," Rodgers told reporters.
"Finals are about a wee bit more than that. Everyone wants to win but you have to have that emotional control in order to play football.
"You have to be physical, you've got to compete but you have to be able to play your game and that is something that the players have done here very well, in all the semi-finals and finals that they have played."
