Celtic lifted their second straight Premiership title under the management of Ange Postecoglou on Trophy Day. There is not much time to celebrate for the Bhoys though as they still have one massive match left to play this season, the Scottish Cup final against Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Hampden Park next month.

Of course, Celtic will have to be considered as heavy favourites going into the match. There were some concerns about their recent form but they got themselves a 5-0 win over Aberdeen on Trophy Day to show that there is nothing to be worried about.

Heading into the match, rumours have broken out though that Inverness CT are set to returns thousands of tickets, which were part of their allocation. Of course, that should mean extra tickets for Celtic supporters.

When asked about the matter, Celtic Football Club official Tickets’ page tweeted out:

While the 5-0 win over Aberdeen might have been a boost for Celtic. They have been handed a number of issues heading into the game. Kyogo, Alistair Johnston and Liel Abada all appeared to pick up knocks on Trophy Day, although the good news is that they were involved in the celebrations afterwards.

Despite that, the Hoops should have enough in the tank to get the better of Inverness CT on paper. Football matches are not played on paper though and it would be a major mistake to take the Championship team lightly. They have earned their way into the final and belong on this stage.

Thus, one can only hope that Celtic take their A-game to Hampden Park next weekend. It is not just the Scottish Cup that is up for grabs for them but a treble as well, as they have already won the Premiership and the League Cup.
