Our prediction for this Scottish Cup match:
There will be fireworks when Celtic and Inverness go head to head at Hampden Park in the Scottish Cup final. The Hoops defended their Premiership trophy without any difficulties and they are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s clash. A man to watch in the home team will be Japan forward Kyogo Furuhashi, who scored a brace in a 5-0 crushing of Aberdeen, while all Aaron Mooy, James McCarthy, and Cameron Carter-Vickers miss out with injuries.
The Championship side, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Celtic by beating Falkirk in the semis. Inverness, though, will have a mountain to climb in the title game as the Hoops are enjoying a very successful season. David faces Goliath in Glasgow and, taking everything into account, anything but a routine win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting in a competitive match Celtic outplayed Inverness 4-0.
Highlighted Player (Aaron Mooy):
Aaron Mooy is an Australian footballer who playes for Huddersfield Town as a midfielder. Mooy was born in Sydney on September 15, 1990 and at the age of 16 he joined English club Bolton Wanderers. The midfielder played for the youth team of Bolton from 2006 to 2009, but he did not make his first-team debut for the club.
In 2010 he joined St. Mirren and after scoring one goal in 21 appearances in the league for the Scottish outfit, Aaron Mooy returned to Australia, signing a contract with Western Sydney Wanderers. In 2014 he joined fellow Australian club Melbourne City and two years later he decided to return to England. Aaron Mooy signed a three-year deal with Manchester City in June, 2016, but he was immediately sent on loan to Championship side Huddersfield Town.
In the summer of 2015 the Australia international joined the Terriers on a permanent basis. His main position is central midfield, but he can play as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
