SEASON 2025/26
SCOTTISH CUP 4th Round
Venue: RUGBY PARK
AUCHINLECK TALBOT 0 CELTIC 2
Scorers: Kenny, Tounekti
Attendance: 10,723
My second Scottish Cup tie of the weekend and this time to Kilmarnock and my 30th match at Rugby Park.
It was described as David v Goliath as 6th tier Auchinleck Talbot took on Celtic. With their own ground deemed unfit to host the biggest game in their history it was moved 16 miles to the next nearest senior ground.
As expected Celtic had the vast majority of possession but were limited to small number of clearcut chances. In the end Celtic had to settle for a goal in each half to see off their Ayrshire opponents.
