Celtic will face Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Saturday

Celtic will face Inverness Caledonian Thistle at the Hampden Park on Saturday in the 2022-23 Scottish Cup final.

The Celts have enjoyed a very solid campaign and will now be looking to crown it with a cup triumph this weekend. They joined the cup competition in the fourth round and have seen off teams including Greenock Morton, St. Mirren, Hearts and rival Rangers and now need one more win to secure a domestic treble.

Celtic are the record winners of the Scottish Cup, lifting the trophy on 40 different occasions. They last won the cup title back in the 2019-20 campaign when they also secured the domestic treble, a feat they will be looking to repeat this weekend.

Inverness play their football in the Scottish second tier and now have a pathway to Europe but must first find a way to defeat the irrepressible Celtic this weekend. They have faced two Scottish Premiership sides in the competition so far, beating Livingston and Kilmarnock in consecutive rounds.

Caley Thistle have knocked Celtic out of the Scottish Cup three times since the turn of the century, with their most recent triumph over the Bhoys coming back in 2015 when they picked up a 3-2 win in the semifinals of the competition.

Inverness' latest result ended an eight-game unbeaten streak and they will now be looking to bounce back here. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should however see the Celts win here.
