With the Glasgow Derby now behind us, there is only one game of consequence left in Celtic's season. That is the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen, set to be played later this month at Hampden Park. The Hoops will be looking to complete another domestic treble while the Dons will aim to win their first piece of silverware in over a decade.
Of course, Hampden Park has become almost like a home ground for Celtic in recent years, as they have constantly won there. The visit to a big final has been much rarer for Aberdeen in recent times.
They were handed their best cup final allocation in recent times for the upcoming game at Hampden Park. And they have backed that up.
As reported by the club's official account, Aberdeen's underwritten allocation for the Scottish Cup final sold out in just a few hours. They had more than 20,000 tickets.
Celtic vs Aberdeen Scottish Cup final announcement made
That just goes on to show how much this game means for the Aberdeen fans. And one would imagine that it is the same case for their players and coaching staff as well.
That being said, that could be said about pretty much every team that Celtic have faced in cup finals in recent years. That has not stopped the Hoops from winning them on a constant basis though. Hopefully, that will not change this time around.
Celtic are a great team, there is no doubt about that. But one cannot overlook the fact that they can slip up from time to time. We have seen that on a number of occasions over the course of the campaign. It remains to be seen how things will play out at Hampden Park later this month. Before that, there are a few league games to take care of.
