Aberdeen Ends 35-Year Wait for Scottish Cup by Upsetting Celtic in Shootout

Aberdeen won the Scottish Cup for the first time in 35 years by defeating Celtic 4-3 in a shootout after a 1-1 draw at Hampden Park on Saturday, May 25, 2025.
Aberdeen's defensive strategy limited Celtic's chances despite Celtic holding 84 percent possession, and the match featured an own goal by Alfie Dorrington and a later mistake by Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Key moments included Cameron Carter-Vickers scoring from an Arne Engels corner, Shayden Morris forcing Schmeichel into an own goal, and Jack Milne's impressive goalkeeping in only his third start.
Bulgaria goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov, a former St Johnstone player, saved two penalties including Callum McGregor’s spot-kick and denied Alistair Johnston, enabling Aberdeen to produce a perfect penalty set.
Aberdeen's win prevented Celtic from securing a sixth treble within a nine-year span and delivered only their second major trophy of the 21st century, making Jimmy Thelin's debut campaign as manager a notable success despite the team's recent struggles.
