Scottish Cup final 2025: How to watch Aberdeen v Celtic for free - channel and kick-off time explained
Aberdeen and Celtic will face off in the final of the 2025 Scottish Cup.
The Scottish sides will face off in a match held at Hampden Stadium on Saturday, May 24.
Scottish Premiership champions Celtic will be hoping to add to their trophy haul already this season and are aiming for the domestic treble. The club previously scooped the SPFL title and the Scottish League Cup earlier in the season.
Aberdeen will be hoping to cap off their season with success after a bumpy ride. After The Dons got off to a flying start in the league back in August, they hit a rough patch in the mid-to-late stages of the season, which eventually saw them jumped by Edinburgh side Hibernian into third place.
While they missed out on third place in the league and the Europa League spot on offer there, success in the Scottish Cup over Celtic could give them a saving grace when it comes to setting up a Europa League play-off spot next season. If Aberdeen prevail over Celtic this afternoon, Hibs would surrender the Europa League play off spot, instead joining the competition in the 2nd qualifying round.
