SEASON 2022/23
SCOTTISH CUP FINAL
Venue: HAMPDEN PARK
CELTIC 3 INVERNESS CT 1
Scorers: Kyogo, Abada, Jota; Mackay
Celtic won their 41st Scottish Cup, completing the domestic treble for an eighth time. Celtic had not previosly beaten a highland side at Hampden in three meetings with Inverness and Ross County however Inverness arrived at the final as a mid-table Championship side so were always unlikely to cause an upset. Despite defending stoutly Kyogo scored his fifth cup final, in only his third final, to give Celtic the lead just before half time. Abada made it two and although Mackay scored for ICT with a few minutes to go their were no dramas as Jota completed the scoring on 90 minutes.
Personal note:

- My 19th Scottish Cup final - 18 including Celtic
- Last match for me this season - total games attended 47 - 38 Celtic, 1 Celtic-B and 8 non-Celtic
