Celtic have reached the Women's Scottish Cup final for the first time in three years, thanks to a compelling extra-time victory over Glasgow City. The semi-final clash saw Fran Alonso's side score twice beyond the 90 minutes to secure their passage, ending a significant run of results against their Glasgow rivals.
The match, played at Hampden Park, was a tightly contested affair, with both teams demonstrating their credentials as two of the top sides in Scottish women's football. Despite the intensity, the game remained goalless through regulation time, setting the stage for a dramatic conclusion.
It was in the additional period that Celtic found their stride, breaking the deadlock and then adding a second goal to establish a winning margin. The specific goal scorers were not immediately available, but their contributions were pivotal in overcoming a resilient Glasgow City side who had held the upper hand in recent encounters.
This triumph is particularly significant for Celtic, as it represents their first victory over Glasgow City since August 2024. The win not only propels them into a prestigious final but also provides a psychological boost against a team they frequently compete with for domestic honours.
The result means Celtic will now face either Rangers or Hibernian in the final, with the other semi-final yet to be played. The opportunity to lift the Scottish Cup will be a major target for the club as they aim to add silverware to their growing collection.
