Who are the current holders of the Scottish Cup?
Aberdeen are the current holders of the Scottish Cup. They beat Celtic in the final on penalties at Hampden Park in May 2025. They drew 1-1 with the Hoops after normal time before they got the better of them on spot-kicks.
Speaking after their triumph last year, former Dons boss Jimmy Thelin revealed how much winning the trophy meant for the club: “You have to be allowed to dream big. We had to dream big in the final because when you do anything can happen. All this week I tried to bring this belief to the squad that they can win. They were cramped and tired late on but kept believing and took the extra step for one another.
“I’m happy, relieved and tired. I will enjoy tonight. The way the players competed, how they defended when they were cramped made me so proud. I’m proud of how they also used the energy from our supporters who travelled down to Hampden. They were also so strong in the penalties.”
He added: “What can I say? They were so mature today in tactical discipline the whole game and never stopped believing. That’s why I’m so proud because it’s not easy when you have played against Celtic some days before and you lose 5-1 to them.”
