00:00Seconds to go
00:03Yang goes down, it's not given. There is a counter-attack here from Aberdeen, but Morris's ball is wild
00:14It's the end of the seven minutes, we'll just see what happens
00:17with Don Robertson
00:19I think that's it. And that is it, we are going to extra time here in the Scottish Cup final
00:27Aberdeen 1 Celtic 1
00:29Celtic got ahead just before halftime
00:33via Alfred Dorrington
00:35Own goal and Celtic in the second half despite being in lower control of the game
00:41repaid the favour and
00:43Kasper Schmeichel just couldn't quite deal with Sweden Morris and his
00:49Cross and it's ended up in the Celtic net. It's extra time between Celtic and Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup once again
00:58Simon the drama of that last 10 minutes or so. Yeah, you described it as a basketball match and you're not far off it
01:04It was end to end
01:06Morris has added a bit of pace to Aberdeen going forward and the physicality of Papaguay as well
01:12But I didn't think there was any danger and then all of a sudden the cross gets fizzed across the face of the goal
01:18I think Kasper makes the right decision. He has to come and intercept it
01:22There's bodies at his back, but he just gets it all wrong
01:24It deflects off his arm into the net and all of a sudden the game's on level terms and then Maeda
01:30the man of the season, through and goal
01:33Firmly expected him just to slot it and we have to give Mitov credit
01:37He just outstretched that left leg to stop it going in. So yeah, we've got another 30 minutes
01:42I think we've got legs there still. Maeda will go forever. You've got Yang on the park, James Forrest with his
01:49intelligence and
01:50Experience. I still think we've got enough there
01:53Well Brendan Rodgers just relaying his messages to the Celtic players
01:58Look, we've been here before, we know what to do
02:03That has to be the message
02:06But Aberdeen
02:08Credit to them Simon. They've hung in there, they've got their moment and they've got extra time
02:13Just like in 1984, these two take it to extra time
02:20And it's another 30 minutes
02:24And I have to say the momentum is slightly all over the place at the minute there, Simon
02:30At one end, Maeda had the chance and then there was a flurry of corner kicks down the other
02:36But what does the manager Brendan Rodgers say here? If you're a player as well, what's going on in that Celtic huddle down there?
02:44Yeah, well, I think there'll be a bit of disappointment they couldn't get over the line, they were so close
02:48But it was quite animated there, the manager
02:51Getting a few messages across
02:53But I think looking at that forward line, I still think there's enough there as I say
02:59Maeda can get in again. Yang has got pace to burn against Jenson on that
03:04left-hand side
03:06James Forrest, his use of the ball, his awareness, I think will create a couple of chances in the course. The game will
03:13It should get even more sweats in this 30 minutes
03:18Absolutely, Simon
03:21And Flares, Shunney and Cameron McGregor just doing the coin toss
03:29Just like in 1990 as well, it went to extra time, it went to penalties that day
03:33I'm hoping for a Celtic win, just as they did in the semi-finals last year, albeit that was through penalties
03:46And Celtic get it done at extra time
03:51As we go again
03:5330 more minutes
03:56Of Celtic and Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final
04:03Celtic will have the kick-off, shooting from right to left, as they did in the first half
04:20Celtic's fitness will hopefully be the added layer here
04:27They can get them over the line and get a goal, if they get them ahead
04:37McEwan
04:42Carter-Vickers
04:45Bernardo
04:47Yang
04:49Gets a ball into the box, it's dangerous
04:51And it's a corner kick to Celtic
04:53Brilliant play, he just helps it round the corner and keeps his run going
04:55Bernardo knows he's there, plays it blind
04:57That could have went anywhere there, but a real good play from Yang and Bernardo
04:59And Celtic instantly on the front foot in this first half of extra time
05:01And it's a corner kick to Celtic
05:03And it's a corner kick to Celtic
05:05And it's a corner kick to Celtic

06:05And it's a corner kick to Celtic
06:07And it's a corner kick to Celtic
06:09Brings it down, runs into Jenson
06:15And here's Tolvara
06:19And Taylor has to win the ball, he does
06:23Yang, McEwan
06:25Just tries to nudge it on
06:27He doesn't
06:31Morris now
06:33He's been the danger since he came on
06:35Morris gets the ball into the box
06:37Jenson, Taylor
06:39And Bernardo in there
06:41It's getting a bit stretched, Simon
06:43Here's James Forrest
06:45Taking down
06:47That should be a yellow card
06:49And it is
06:51Yeah, the game's stretching
06:53And it should suit us as well
06:55Going towards that Aberdeen goal
06:57But that's just cynical
06:59Sort of straightforward yellow card
07:01That you'll see
07:03As another Aberdeen player goes to ground
07:06Well, it's going to be
07:08Jack Milne that comes off
07:10For Aberdeen
07:14And he's going to be replaced by
07:16Christian Tobers, who we thought
07:18Might have come on earlier, but
07:20He didn't, and he is now coming on
07:22Now Latvian
07:24Former Grasshoppers
07:26Player
07:28And Latvian international as well
07:30So
07:32Part of experience for Aberdeen to rely on
07:35As Pava Versa is confirmed in the book
07:49Forrest
07:51On the ball
07:53Goes back to Carter Vickers
07:57The two own goals
07:59Are the goals apiece
08:05Carter Vickers just has to be careful
08:07McGregor has Gay
08:09For company
08:11Forrest
08:13Cuts the ball forward, but that's just going to run
08:15All the way through
08:17To Mitov, who
08:19Can't quite get over that moment
08:21Simon, for Maeda
08:23What a big save that is for Mitov
08:25Yeah, it was a tremendous save
08:27And it would just have capped off
08:29A fabulous season for Maeda
08:31And James
08:33Forrest is down now
08:35Which will
08:37Create a problem
08:43Probably
08:45Forrest has to go off
08:47The option would be
08:49Johnny Kenny
08:51To come on
08:55But hopefully he'll be okay
08:59He's just getting some treatment in a minute
09:01McGregor
09:03Was in discussion with Brendan Rogers
09:05Johnny Kenny is stripped
09:07And ready to come on
09:09Simon
09:11Does that suggest James Forrest's game is done?
09:13Yeah, I think so, it's a real shame
09:15For James' season to finish in this way
09:21That is a real shame
09:23But Johnny Kenny got his first Celtic goal
09:25What a chance he's got now, the boy
09:27To come on here and make himself a hero
09:31The Celtic supporter from Sligo
09:35And it is confirmed
09:37James Forrest's game is done
09:39Due to injury
09:41I can only imagine that's a muscle injury
09:45And Johnny Kenny
09:47Comes on to the pitch
09:55What a chance he's got, Simon
09:57Yeah, a huge chance
09:59To make a name for himself
10:01If he can get on the score sheet here
10:07The Celtic have the throw
10:09Papa Gay thought he
10:11Was due the foul there
10:13But just a sneak glance from Greg Taylor
10:15As if to say, get up
10:23Scales now
10:25Six minutes into
10:27Extra time
10:31Schmeichel has to come out
10:33He's got to be quick, he's calm
10:35Glad he is
10:39Taylor now
10:43Puts the ball forward
10:45Carter Vickers strong
10:47Tedder
10:49McGregor
10:51Trying to be quick in the movement, Yang
10:53Can he get there? He can't
10:55He does well, Luke McKeown
10:57Kenny
10:59Still alive
11:01And Mitov makes the save
11:05It's good play, Luke McKeown working in here
11:07Takes it back off
11:09Johnny Kenny and it's bobbling up
11:11And he gets a shot away
11:15Jeffrey Schlupp
11:17Is stripped and ready to come on
11:21I just wonder if he'll replace Taylor
11:23Or he'll go into midfield like he did last week
11:25I don't think it'll be for Taylor
11:27Unless it's something that we haven't spotted
11:33Maybe Bernardo
11:35Bernardo hasn't had a lot of game time
11:37Here's Papa Gay, puts the ball into the box
11:39Scales has to be alert, he is
11:41Morris now
11:45Maida
11:47Now back, tracking
11:49Bernardo's there as well
11:51Putting the challenge in
11:55And that will comfortably
11:57Go back in
11:59To the Celtic hands
12:03Morris and Maida
12:07A real race between the two
12:13Just breaks down for Celtic
12:15Won't go all the way through
12:17To Kasper Schmeichel
12:19It's just a bit bitty at the minute
12:21Yeah, a little bit nervy
12:23Just need to settle down
12:25Try and find a little bit of rhythm against Celtic
12:27Schlupp still waits to come on
12:33McGregor
12:37McKeown just walks it back to Scales
12:39Scales
12:45Calum McGregor
12:47Johnstone
12:49For Yang
12:53It's Yang
12:55Gets it all wrong and it goes out
12:57For a goal kick
12:59I think it hit off the corner flag
13:03And Aberdeen have the goal kick
13:05just not quite clicking and it is a midfield change Simon, Paolo Bernardo makes way for
13:14Jeffrey Schlupp who quite uniquely has an FA Cup medal to his name
13:19this season yeah of course he does so he's going to go into left back and Greg Taylor's
13:26going to move into the middle yeah Greg Taylor's went into midfield
13:29no he played there as a boy in Nicol Marmock youth days
13:40there's a little bit of organization being needed to get done by Brendan Rodgers
13:48good header McEwan drives forward Kenny gonna try and keep that one in play
13:56he does good pace from the Irishman
14:08Greg Taylor to Callum McGregor
14:12Jeffrey Schlupp made it back to scales
14:1910 minutes gone of extra time still one each here at Hampden Park
14:29McGregor goes for the shot Callum McGregor
14:34dipping but just didn't come down enough for the captain and the moment slips away
14:41he takes it really well just takes it on the on the turn and we know what he's trying to do
14:45he's trying to get down to that top corner as Yang worked his way in the park here
14:51plays it into him he turns really well just can't get it on target
15:05Mitov plays it back in
15:07Carter Vickers heads it on
15:14a couple of Aberdeen players ran into each other there McEwan closes it down
15:19and another Aberdeen player drops to the pitch
15:25back gamesmanship Simon or genuine fitness struggles yeah I think it's
15:31I think it's a bit of cramp
15:32he's on his feet now
15:43having said that he's recovered quite quickly yeah maybe about both two things can be right at once
15:52we're back in play looks like the sun's starting to come out at Hampden after all
15:57Mitov clears the ball
16:04after all the rain is it going to be Hampden in the sun
16:11Carter Vickers one touch on to Alistair Johnston
16:28McGregor just had to be on his toes Taylor, Schlupp, Greg Taylor
16:36Morris tracks back
16:40Schlupp will get the ball back in play
16:46Celtic trying to find the second goal McGregor, Taylor, Geoffrey Schlupp
16:56it's Greg Taylor can he get into the box it goes for a corner kick
17:01to Celtic down the Aberdeen end of the stadium yeah good link-up play there from Schlutt and Taylor
17:09as the cross in the end gets blocked for another corner can we get somebody on the end of this
17:13look MacEwan on the outswing up left foot delivery
17:28which MacEwan brings the ball and scales is there the chance it fell down there
17:32I think it was Yang that was in there McGregor gains and goes back to Johnston
17:38MacEwan for Geoff for Liam Scales I should say
17:55McGregor
18:01Schlupp
18:02very congested in front of Celtic at the minute
18:10McGregor for Maida he had the big moment at the end of the second half
18:17Johnston here is MacEwan he runs into Knostuk
18:33he does well but it's giving us a free kick I thought look MacEwan had done well enough there
18:40yeah I thought he'd used his body if he says foul
18:57well just approaching the end of this first half there'll be really much in the way of action
19:06Yang tries to find Kenny
19:10Johnston strongly heads on Kenny does well Celtic keep the ball alive MacEwan he's got
19:15Yang with him but here's Luke MacEwan for now Yang
19:20Yang the cross is blocked two minutes added here in the first half of extra time
19:28of extra time in the Scottish Cup final
19:36Carter-Vickers for Luke MacEwan
19:43Scales, Schlupp, Celtic fashion an opportunity
19:53Scales
19:54Maida
20:02just waiting for the opportunity to open up
20:05patiently Scales look for the cross and it goes for a throw
20:16Carter-Vickers
20:19for Johnston
20:20MacEwan wants to run on the end of it Mackenzie's there he's strong and it goes for a goal kick
20:32yeah I don't think the pass from Yang done his teammate any favours there
20:37Lloyd Aberdeen there to show his strength and just ease it out for the goal kick
20:41well just almost 20 past five local time here in Glasgow
20:57and this cup final doesn't look to be resolved anytime soon
21:00in
21:08Mitov plays the ball back in
21:14Johnston now Yang's made the run he gave up because the referee blew the whistle
21:22and that's the end of the first half of extra time I can feel the nerves around the stadium Simon
21:29it's getting nervous yeah I think everybody's feeling the nerves and
21:33the game didn't have much rhythm there there was a few changes enforced as well with James having to
21:38go off there wasn't much in that 15 minutes but as you say the closer it gets to the dreaded penalties
21:47the tension builds now Celtic what will go in their favour here is that they
21:55won their last two penalty shootouts one against Aberdeen and then the League Cup final they won
22:06against Rangers to bring the League Cup back to paradise
22:17but it's all all a bit dramatic for extra time I'd rather it doesn't go to penalty Simon
22:24I don't know about you me too
22:28don't want to take those stress levels to that height yeah but there's still 15 minutes here
22:33Berlin if we can just manufacture another chance and you would imagine down the Celtic end
22:41surely the chance will come and as we said just before the made that moment it's just about
22:47whether you take it or you don't there will be a chance yeah it's down to those
22:53mainly the boys in the midfield to front to just go and try and create some opportunity
22:59I don't think we'll get a better one than Maedas towards the end of the 90 minutes but let's see
23:07our players are back on the pitch as we go
23:11oh and to the second half of extra time the coaches have said their bit it's now down to the
23:18players can somebody win it before it goes to 12 yards and a penalty shootout to decide
23:28the destination of the Scottish Cup 2025
23:39the tension is palpable around Hampden another 15 to go for Celtic and Aberdeen
23:50and they get ready to go again Aberdeen kick off attacking their own fans this time
24:08and Celtic doing like so
24:13Taylor has to get in there he does good challenge but Aberdeen come away with the ball
24:21he's quick he gets there but it's a great challenge from Schlopp
24:33they had to be careful Jeffrey Schlopp and he does concede the corner kick yeah Morris showed
24:38his old pace there he's actually feeling his leg there but just get back and only just had to get
24:46there corner kick to Aberdeen in the opening minute or so of the second half of extra time
25:03it's going to be Calvara over this one but Morris has made an impact
25:07something's coming on no doubt about it
25:12ball comes in Celtic have to defend he's headed on and what an opportunity that would have been
25:21for Aberdeen to win the game Calvara with the opportunity big miss he's caught it sweet maybe
25:31too well real powerful volley but thankful for Celtic blazes over the bar Celtic go on the other
25:41end of the pitch Aberdeen with the first real opportunity of this extra time Aberdeen have the
25:53throw
26:04taking their time Aberdeen here really killing the flow of the game
26:15try to take a sting out of any attack here that should be a Celtic throw it is
26:22this won't take as long Johnston goes back to Carter Vickers
26:36scales or Carter Vickers
26:40the sun shining on Hamden now McEwan lays it off it's Callum McGregor he's shaped up for the shot
26:47it's Jeffrey Schlopp it's hit the crossbar unbelievable it's still alive Aberdeen have
26:54to stab it away what a moment that would have been if that thundered into the net oh it's an
27:00incredible strike the first one gets blocked off Callum McGregor and it comes out to him
27:04and he's got no hesitation and he crashes it off the crossbar Cater never moved
27:12astonishing
27:13McGregor now
27:20McEwan it's just cut out Pappagate with Yank does well Yank gets the foul gets the free kick
27:32yeah he does really well Pappagate
27:36the Celtic go quick
27:37who can be the hero in green and white for Celtic
27:48Carter Vickers
27:51Yang
27:55he runs into trouble Mackenzie there
28:00Johnston McGregor he has to be careful
28:07there's disbelief all around the Celtic end of the stadium at that
28:15hard to believe that's a foul but it is
28:18it's a two or three look at the referee today they'll be taking tackling out the game soon
28:27McGregor went in well I suppose he does get a bit of dabber
28:32here we see it again it blocks him it's just come back to me he's thundered off the crossbar
28:46Nick Don has to be careful or they dabber trying to get some cheers from the Aberdeen end
28:56to Ryo the Don's on
29:06it's a heavy touch there from Tobers but Celtic have to be careful here
29:12Scales he does well Taylor now it's through the legs he's going to have to try and keep this in
29:18play it's been called back for whatever reason there's hands on the head everywhere around us
29:25here why was that called back signing no idea absolutely no idea is there shocking again now
29:34it's an advantage well Yang now Celtic have the ball
29:42let's get into that type of game for Celtic
29:45Scales cuts the ball forward Yang's in there it's well defended
29:56here is Johnston cuts the ball it's a good ball Kenny's in there couldn't quite get the connection
30:03the Irishman he buried a header at Pithodrae and it wasn't to be there
30:07yes a little chance good ball in from Alistair Johnston just can't get up high enough to
30:12direct it towards goal he gets something on it but not enough purchase
30:18you see it again here comes out Alistair Johnston
30:24he just can't get enough on it El Mitov taking his time over this goal kick
30:32into the final 10 minutes of regulation extra time rather
30:38getting to his all Carthar Vickers heads it on Jensen starts it out tired minds tired legs
30:48at the showpiece event in our national game
30:59Johnston Celtic have hit the bar they've had a massive opportunity before extra time to win the
31:05game
31:11Carthar Vickers strong
31:15Shunny still going Celtic chasing oh it gets harder at this point in the game Celtic
31:25Scales is just not talking to each other here's Papaguay big chance big big opportunity just
31:33didn't get the purchase on it yes a real chance he's played in his path brilliantly
31:39as you see doesn't get a clean strike away
31:43the communication breakdown between Scales and Sloop
31:51Maida
31:55for Carol McGregor the captain always been the man for the moment
32:04so
32:06Scales
32:10Celtic won't panic they will stick to the game plan
32:21Liam Scales
32:23uh
32:28Carol McGregor goes forward McEwan neat round the corner Johnston
32:34Yang just breaks down there but Celtic still have the ball Scales former Aberdeen player
32:42Slop mix it in Carthar Vickers should go on this one
32:50Slop
32:53Scales gets out to Johnston Johnston good ball that's just evaded everyone Maida will collect
33:08Scales now
33:16Liam Scales
33:16Scales
33:28Scales does well Celtic ever so patient on the ball they're just waiting
33:37for the tired minds to give in McEwan Carol McGregor
33:44Slop
33:45Slop for that space floats it in Kenny goes down
33:53Yang has to try and keep this one in play
33:58and it goes for a Celtic throw
34:05McEwan's claiming for something
34:06McEwan must have been the challenge if he's been filled in the box
34:13well there is a VAR check for a possible penalty just going on his reaction let's see it again
34:25I have to see another angle
34:29McKenzie is it I don't think there's much in that play on there's no penalty given
34:36Celtic have the ball
34:41Johnston McEwan
34:47Yang
34:50this is tense as it gets at the National Stadium
34:59Luke McEwan
35:0726 minutes of this extra time played ball comes in it's not quite there for Taylor
35:14and Slop Scales and Carter Vickers communicate and it goes back to Kasper Schmeichel
35:27Carol McGregor
35:28Slop
35:33finds Yang
35:37Carol McGregor again
35:46Taylor now for Jeffrey Slop
35:53Carol McGregor does well driving forward keeps his feet
35:59has to go back to Jeffrey Slop
36:04will there be a chance an opportunity for Celtic Greg Taylor keeps it alive ball comes into the
36:12box it's dangerous Aberdeen desperate defending Slop and he's played it to Papa Gay Celtic have
36:20to work back here Carter Vickers with Papa Gay he's never gone anywhere there it's back in Celtics
36:27control yeah defended the situation really well there Carter Vickers read the play but
36:32what a ball in from Sloop begging for somebody to be in there Yang keeps it
36:39from going out McEwan to Kerry tries to run past it's a good idea from the Irishman but
36:46that'll go all the way through to Dimitar Mitov
36:49and it's looking like that it may be the lottery from 12 yards
37:02rather them than us Simon yeah
37:08it's not an ideal way to finish a match and there'll be
37:13nervous tension out there and everywhere else in this stadium
37:19should be the easiest way to score a goal dealing in normal circumstances but it's
37:25it's the psychology of it it's everything that goes with it yeah of course it's
37:32my pressure like no other
37:39Carter Vickers now
37:40it's still time to deny the shootout Yang for Taylor the midfielder Greg Taylor
37:53it's Yang puts it in and it just doesn't connect with it it goes out of play
38:01he just couldn't get his foot around the ball and that is a wasted opportunity for Celtic
38:07and the dying embers yeah for the Scottish Cup final it has to do better there it's
38:12a nice little ball and a great spot from Greg Taylor
38:19it lets him in behind the defence here lovely little pass
38:24fizz it across low or cut it back he does neither he has a wild slash at it it's high and wide
38:30well Mitov taking his time over the goal kick understandable however frustrating it is
38:40McGregor wins the header strong Kenny's going to have to get the pace on here Maeda's with him
38:46he's got two Celtic players with him Mitov he had to be dead alert
38:50getting involved again Owen Johnston Celtic have the free kick we are now one minute added
38:58at Hampden Park at the end of extra time can anyone deny us of penalty shootout
39:06and take the cup back to Celtic Park
39:11McEwan
39:12McGregor scales for Jeff Ruslop he's hit the crossbar already
39:23McGregor finds Carter Vickers
39:28will there be a Celtic chance
39:31Johnston now gets the ball round his foot round that middle fielder
39:37Johnston now gets the ball round his foot round at Maeda heads on Kenny's in there Mitov collects
39:46and that might be it and that might be penalties to decide if the cup is coming up the road
39:55to paradise and that is full time it ends one each here at the National Stadium and just like
40:06the semi-final last year we are going to penalty kicks between Celtic and Aberdeen how are your
40:15nerves Simon Dornlake is mine are short yeah they've been better but I don't need to take a
40:19penalty thankfully it's down to the players down on the pitch now as you say we went through this
40:26at the semi-final stage last year after an incredible match today wasn't quite as spectacular
40:36but it was late in the day when Aberdeen get back into the game with the equalizer
40:41there wasn't much in the extra time to separate the sides and we go to penalties and it's
40:46you describe it as a lottery I know what you're meaning but that is a skill yeah and handle the
40:52pressure and execute the penalty and hopefully we'll get some cool heads out there and then
40:58Casper he'll be dying to kind of rectify that mistake as well so he made a big big save in
41:04the penalty shootout from Rudvan Yilmaz yes back in December Maeda will had the crowning moment
41:13to bring the League Cup back to Celtic Park and they're going to have to do it
41:19all again to bring the Scottish Cup back to Celtic Park
41:24and that will be all decided imminently who's taking what and when
41:29I've always wondered Simon and does there anything go and where what end the penalty
41:36shootout happens in like last year we were down to our to our left towards the west end of the
41:42stadium yeah where Celtic had the majority of the stadium but the Aberdeen fans were housed there
41:47it's more of an Aberdeen end today yeah but is there any psychology that goes would you rather
41:53have it here towards the right where the Celtic fans are or to our left where the Aberdeen fans
42:00are I'm not sure Dylan to be perfectly honest I'm not sure I don't know if that relieves any tension
42:04at all I think maybe it's nice you know if we go and win it here in front of your fans at this end
42:10maybe that's the thought process but I don't know if it gives you any sort of advantage
42:15because when you're down there taking a penalty you probably feel like the loneliest guy
42:20in the stadium at that particular moment
42:24now the Celtic players have broken from their huddle they're ready to go
42:32that is so so nervy but Celtic they've been here they've done it before can they go and do it again
42:42Aberdeen they've competed they've taken the league champions the league cup winners all the way
42:49to the death and it's going to be decided from the penalty spot
42:59and we'll find out where this is all going
43:08and as the sun finally breaks out at Hampden Park
43:13we'll find out Simon what ends we're going to is it the Aberdeen end or the Celtic end
43:27I think Aberdeen may oh here's the toss now so
43:32I think I would prefer to take the first penalty rather than take the end if you know what I mean
43:36take the first penalty rather than take the end if you know what I mean
43:40I think you'd prefer to go first and is that a thing the captain should always go first is that
43:45I think no I'm just meaning if we get the yeah go first and get the goal and apply pressure immediately
43:53yeah well it looks like we're down the Celtic end
44:00Celtic they won the Scottish cup on penalties back in 2020
44:06that's how they clinched the quadruple treble Christopher Ayer had the crowning moment
44:15back in that cold December night when there was none no fans in the stadium to see it
44:23Callum McGregor steps up to take the first penalty here in the shootout
44:29yeah taking responsibility the skipper
44:41Mitov versus McGregor captain goes first
44:52Callum McGregor the captain of the football comp with the chance to get us off and running
45:00he steps up and it's saved first blood to Aberdeen the captain misses from the penalty spot
45:11it's early days in the shootout but not an ideal start for Celtic
45:17no it's not he just tries to place it Mitov reads it it's a decent save
45:22it's maybe not quite in the corner he just tries to slot it open the foot up and Mitov makes the save
45:33well it's Graeme Shunny the Aberdeen captain now over this one
45:38Shunny and he puts it into the top corner and Aberdeen are 1-0 up in the penalty shootout
45:48after the first round the penalty is not an ideal start for Celtic it's not a good start
45:52for Celtic it's a fantastic penalty you have to say that smashes it into the roof of the net
45:59and Aberdeen take the advantage
46:00Johnny Kenny gets the ball he will be second in the order of merit
46:18Johnny Kenny the Irishman it's Kenny gets Celtic up and running
46:25a good penalty from the youngster confident sends a keeper the wrong way gets us off the mark
46:37it's going to be the American Pulvara
46:44I just hope Kasper Schmeichel's just getting in the head of those Aberdeen players
46:49you have to get past the frame of Schmeichel
46:57Pulvara and he scores and makes it two for two for Aberdeen
47:05yeah similar penalty to Johnny Kenny just closes the foot for the last minute swoops into that
47:10no left-hand corner
47:19Luke McEwan up next for Celtic
47:29it's McEwan places the ball down McEwan runs up and he scores
47:36nice penalty
47:44says we drove the wrong way again again similar to the last two penalties just
47:48closing the foot at the last minute sweeps into that corner on his left
47:53and it's going to be Ode Daba next for Aberdeen he had the big moment that got Aberdeen here
48:01back in the semi-final against Hearts down this end of the stadium
48:09the Palestinian international with the chance to further extend the lead Daba and scores
48:21and makes it three two after three rounds of penalties
48:25Cal McGregor's miss at the minute
48:29very similar to Shinnies right and that roof of the net
48:33don't even think Schmeichel would have got near that if he'd picked the right side
48:38Dyson now scored the winning penalty back in December
48:45and it's Maeda
48:56Maeda steps up and he scores in the same corner the same type of penalty as he did back in December
49:04and it's 3-3 for Aberdeen are still to take their fourth penalty
49:11great yeah just power just tries to get power on that
49:16not that fortunate I think Mitrov had read it but it's glums underneath him
49:26and it's Palaversa over this one it's agonizing just willing Kasper Schmeichel to make the save
49:36Palaversa the short runner
49:42Palaversa it's another great penalty and inches Aberdeen ever closer
49:51yeah you have to say the penalties have been top-notch Aberdeen's another one
49:55sweeped into that top corner this time Schmeichel guesses the right way can't get
50:01through it Johnston has to score to keep Celtic alive in this cup final
50:17Alistair Johnston steps up it's Johnston and it's saved
50:25it's saved it's agonizing it's dreadfully disappointing but Aberdeen have won
50:34the Scottish Cup and it's all over for Celtic here today
50:44it ends in disappointment for Celtic it's a sad moment credit is due to Aberdeen they end 35
50:52years of agony and stop Celtic from doing the treble to win the Scottish Cup
51:02Carol McGregor and Alistair Johnston with the misses
51:07in the shootout and it's not to be for Celtic on the day Simon sum it all up if you can
51:14I don't know if I can really I don't Celtic were in control for huge periods of that
51:20cup final Aberdeen hung in you've got to give them credit they hung in
51:24they got their equalizer there wasn't much between the teams and extra time
51:28Dillon but the penalties were first class it comes down to execution try to keep your composure
51:35and they were better at the penalties you know the three or four were on the roof of the net
51:39so you've got to give them credit me talking about a couple of saves as well big moment in
51:42the match made I had yeah yeah you look at that with seconds to go and he's through and
51:49he's had such a good season he's been a player of the season by a stretch and he just couldn't
51:54slot it again you have to give me talk credit there without stretch leg and yeah it's
51:59disappointing because I don't really think there was a huge pressure on Celtic at any point today
52:05a lot of possession in the game and maybe they'll look towards that at one nil not going on trying
52:11to get the second or not being able to get the second goal rather than not trying to get it
52:15but just not be able to get that second goal that would have effectively won the game
52:19well it's disappointment at Hampden Park Celtic end the season with the double not the treble
52:27and it will all feel sore for now but we have to pick ourselves up and Simon the team have been
52:35excellent this season it's not the the perfect ending but that's football but they've been
52:39brilliant up until this point they've been excellent they've been excellent again and listen people
52:44we're going for another treble there and focus another these things aren't easy it shows you
52:49how the ones beforehand it's so difficult to go out week in week out and perform domestically
52:56you've got the European campaign there as well these guys have been a credit over the last few
53:00seasons they've won everything and it's just unfortunate today that they've kind of came up
53:06short at the final hurdle yeah an agonizing way to end it thank you Simon Donnelly for being here
53:13with us credit to Aberdeen congratulations to the team in red they win the Scottish Cup after
53:2135 years and they won it in a penalty shootout back in 1990 as well it all ends here at Hampden
