Aberdeen and Celtic will contest the 2025 Scottish CupFinal at Hampden Park on Saturday in a showpiece occasion that pits a struggling Aberdeen side against the recently crowned Scottish Premiership champions.
Celtic arrive as overwhelming favorites, having already secured both the league and the League Cup under Brendan Rodgers, and now stand on the brink of an extraordinary sixth domestic treble in nine seasons. The Bhoys have dominated this fixture all season, winning four of five meetings against Aberdeen.
Aberdeen, meanwhile, are seeking their first Scottish Cup triumph since 1990 and hope to defy the odds despite a poor run of form, which has seen them lose four straight matches in May and concede 12 goals in the process

Aberdeen team news
For Aberdeen, manager Jimmy Thelin confirmed that his squad remains largely unchanged from recent matches, with only Sivert Heltne Nilsen, Ester Sokler, and Vinnie Besuijen unavailable due to injury.
There was a scare for Jack MacKenzie but he has returned to training and is available for selection.
Celtic team news
Celtic, on the other hand, are close to full strength for the final. The only long-term absentee remains Jota, while Reo Hatate is a doubt after picking up an injury last week. However, key defenders Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston are fit and expected to start, bolstering a side that has scored five goals in four of their last seven games across competitions.
